My happy post of the day

Apopka Marine Earns Bronze Star For Valor
quote:
Capt. Christopher D. Wills received the Bronze Star on Wednesday during a ceremony at Camp Lejeune. The Marines say Wills fought with valor on two occasions as a Military Transition Team leader with the First Iraqi Army Division. In April, he held his ground so Iraqi soldiers could escape and the following day kept his men safe during a mortar barrage. Wills is 37 and from Apopka, Florida.

It makes me happy...yes happy to know that in a world of mediocrity and compromised standards, the Marine Corps is still turning out young men of high character and un-compromised loyalty. A salute to one of our valiant hometown boys who served honorably, along with a loud oorah, because he is a credit to the Corps.
