The bravery that inspired the act is worthy of the Medal of Honor. The outcome is irrelevant.

Corouge and bravery comes from within and most of us Irish are lucky enough to posses it. All of the Irish and Americans of Irish decent should be very proud of this man.

Name the destroyer for a heroic enlisted man and migrant. At this time of viscious anti-immigrant sentiment and growing gulf between rich and poor, our country should recognize the contributions of the lowly people who come here to make the ultimate contribution.
