Everyone should be aware of heroes like SFC Smith.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush on Monday awarded the first Medal of Honor in the Iraq war to Army Sgt. 1st Class Paul Ray Smith, who saved dozens of soldiers before he died in a firefight days before Baghdad fell.
Bush presented the military's highest award for bravery to Smith's young son at a White House ceremony attended by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and a roomful of military men and women from all branches of the armed services.
I mentioned this hero back in February here.
