Incredible! I found myself breathing funny, hard, when it was over. A truly deserving and great man.

God bless you, Tango Mike Mike, and may He bring peace and comfort to your family now and forever.

"In an unprecedented move, the US Navy named one of its ships the U.S.S. Benavidez."

He deserves more than that. Unbelievable story. Pres. Reagan "became personally involved" in his benefit cutbacks,.....and they were quickly rescinded.

"I think it would be a nifty idea to remit all taxes to holders of the Congressional Medal of Honor. This would cost the government practically nothing, and it would show that at least some of us are serious about our salutes."
Jeff Cooper


'The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.' ~G. K. Chesterton

These stories always make me proud and humble. What a great American, and what a great American Soldier.

God Bless you Master Sgt. Benavidez.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
