Michael should be remembered by every American the same and even more then the way most Americans know and remember their favorite actors. Men like Michael should the average kids hero. As an American and presently an Israeli soldier its hurts me to see the lack of recognition men like Michael and the rest of the men in the military receive. In Israel every man and woman at the age of 18 are required to serve in the military, due to this every Israeli fully appreciates and understands the armed forces here. Sadly the same can not be said in America, the lack of recognition, respect, and appreciation is by far not enough for the magnitude of the sacrifices that are made by the service men and woman.

In an all volunteer military, he put himself in harms way on behalf of his country, and he gave the ultimate sacrifice for his shipmates in battle. I first read of his extraordinary bravery and courage last year and I was so moved, I had a "heros bracelet" made which shows his his name and the day he gave his life to save his buddies. I wear that bracelet every day so that I and those around me, are constantly reminded of the sacrifice he made on behalf of his team and our country. My heart goes out to his family with the hope that they have found some peace in knowing that they raised one of America's finest sons. God bless him, Robert Min, STG2(SW), USN(R)

Perhaps if you actually knew something about Medals of Honor awarded to Black soldiers, dating back to the Civil War, you'd bring something intelligent to this discussion. I know of one battle, near my home, where TEN Black soldiers were awarded the Medal of Honor in the Civil War -- and this is back at a time when regiments were strictly segregated, so it was a hardly a secret to the Army Headquarters who approved the awards that they were awarding them to Black soldiers, since they were assigned to the Colored Infantry. I suspect it's safe to say that there was, even back then, less discrimination in the Army than anywhere else. Do you have the slightest idea how many Black soldiers, sailors Marines & airmen have been awarded the Medal of Honor, not to mention Silver Stars and other awards for heroism in the last 150 years? Probably not, since the self-proclaimed "Black Media" doesn't give a damn and you're obviously too lazy to even Google up some research. I personally knew two Black soldiers in Vietnam who got the Medal of Honor, and I couldn't even guess at how many Black soldiers I saw wearing the Silver Star. You might ask Ebony, Jet or the Black Entertainment Channel just why they make not the slightest effort to mention these genuine heroes, instead of degenerate scum like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton or Farrakhan. It's probably safe to assume that you've never even met anyone who could name a single Black Medal of Honor or Silver Star recipient. Don't blame me -- blame the phony "culture" you seem to embrace, that seems to ignore real character and sacrifice so they have more time to cover Gangsta rappers and the degenerate culture they find so attractive. You might also question the reason why it's almost impossible these days to find a single Black (or African-American, if you prefer) enlistee who will volunteer for the elite units, like Airborne, Ranger, Special Operations Command, SEALs, Air Commandos, or Special Forces. If you want to win medals, you'd better go where the action is. You don't get ASSIGNED to high-risk elite units, you have to VOLUNTEER. And pass some damned tough training, too. I could, of course, point out that there is no shortage of Hispanic and Asian volunteers ... just why there seems to be a shortage of Black volunteers is something you might care to deal with inside your own community. You can blame this all on "white racism" if it makes you feel good, but the sad fact is that if you don't take some responsibility for your own life, and your own actions, you'll never be anything but a whining little sissy who doesn't understand why he's middle-aged and still working down at the car wash. And doing a bit of research into some real Black heroes -- of which there is no shortage -- might not do you a bit of harm, either.
