Not retired but a two tour vet and only 27 short years of age!

Men like these are not born every day!  

Semper Fidelis..... :'(

He sets a high standard for all of us.

Getting the woman and himself away from the burning wreckage and to a road where they might get help when he was burned over 90% of his body.  Then he goes into shock.  The man was acting on sheer strength of will and determination.  The Marines will be proud.

I'd say Austin would make a honorable name for the woman's first born....boy or girl.
