Found this while on protestwarrior.com web site, I don't think it has been posted here before and I thought everyone would enjoy reading about a true war hero. 
Marine, receives Navy Cross: read the full story
| Quote: | MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. (May 6, 2004) -- Marine Capt. Brian R. Chontosh received the Navy Cross Medal from the Commandant of the United States Marine Corps, Gen. Michael W. Hagee, during an awards ceremony Thursday at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Training Center, Twentynine Palms, Calif.
Three other Marines received medals for valor at the same ceremony. |

That's a true hero's words.
