Phanerothyme Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I don't know how Private Johnson Beharry did what he did, but it's astounding. That citation in full - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4360461.stm To show the clear thinking he did, in the situation he was in, defies belief. He saved the lives of his comrades through a combination of lighting reflexes, single minded tenacity and a clarity of purpose which is truly humbling. A real hero. If only I wore a hat.

owdlad Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I agree that this is one case where the word HERO can be used without attracting any critisism. I hope he makes a full recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
