To you from failing hands we throw The Torch


Here is a heartbreaking and inspring story of one soldier’s valour and sacrifice for a country that has thrown his torch in the mud.    http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/military/20081111-9999-1n11valor.html

Army Sgt. Charles Wyckoff faced a life-or-death choice.   With insurgents firing at his squad from behind a mud wall in southern Afghanistan, he ran across a field and crept around one end of the wall. He saw a Taliban fighter with a rifle kneeling just a few feet away, and a second standing perhaps 30 feet farther back with a rocket-propelled grenade aimed at his team.

RIP Sgt.  We don’t deserve you.
