It's a profile pic I've used before, Sgt Steven Thomas. It was taken in SEP96 before I was assigned to the Retired Reserve in MAY98. I flip back and forth between the old and the new.

Are you freaking kidding me! This action is being questioned through forensic science? Read the line from the story, and then what I think of this BS. The Government has lost it's military mind! "Some forensic experts have questioned whether Peralta could have moved the grenade underneath his body as he had been wounded in the back of the head by a bullet, leading to a question of whether he was even conscious when the grenade exploded." Not a doctor but I know a fighting soldier will react to a situation almost automatically when in dire straights. I believe he did this, and only saw in his eyes for the last 3 seconds of his live, he was going to save his brothers. Who has the God given right to question his actions, and then spend time and money to disprove it, why for and what to save money? What has our country become!

AAAAAHHHHH good ole chart room counseling! Any soldier sailor marine airman, or guardsman who shows any act that saves his brothers lives, should never be questioned. I know there have been movies, and books written, but an act of self sacrifice can never be questioned especially if saving others lives are involved!

interesting information and a Sad story...
.../\... Fox News reported that there were several eye witnesses — Marines who were probably saved by Peralta’s actions — who have testified that Peralta did indeed pull the grenade underneath his body.
Peralta already received the Navy Cross and has had a ship named after him, though his family still hoped he will receive the Medal of Honor for his actions that went above and beyond.
Mattis will undoubtedly study this carefully, and whatever decision he makes will be grounded in reality and fact, not political posturing...."...
