Watched FoxNews show "Company of Heroes" -- in fact, I made it a point to watch the program after seeing Lance Corporal Klay South on the other night with Neil Cavuto.
Klay South caught my eye for one reason: he was injured pretty badly in the battle in Fallujah -- in fact, he got shot in the face...he has had 17 surgeries so far to reconstruct his mouth, lips, face, teeth...and the guy is so humble...he is not afraid to say that he would do it all over again...
He would go over to Iraq again...knowing what he was facing...because he understands what this is all about....
His parents, on the Fox show...they get it...
South's father said (and I am paraphrasing) "We understand that it is our duty to help and protect those people in the world that are unable to help themselves"...
South's face is beautiful...not Hollywood beautiful...but beautiful because he bears the scars of battle and bears no ill-will of either the President or of the Iraqi people...
He killed terrorists because he gets it...
And I am dedicating this blog today to Klay South...and all of the brave Marines in India Company that fought the Battle of Fallujah...and all of the brave men and women that continue to fight the good fight...
