The St. Petersburg Times wins awards for journalism, and this story is an example of why. Their specials are very well done. Mark Bowden's special feature for the Philadelphia newspaper became "Black Hawk Down". I wouldn't be surprised if this story eventually went the same way.

Damn shame he has not been awarded the CMO. I intend to write a letter to the President asking him to look into this.

Anyone notice the similarities here between Smith and Audie Murphy?

Some of us may not agree with this war, but we all can agree it has its heros, and this man is one of the bravest to have fought there.

A sincere and whole hearted from me.
