Thank you for the link ERINT. Here's another with more links to his full story. http://www.strykernews.com/archives/2005/02/02/sfc_paul_r_smith.html If half of that is true he more than earned his award. They don't give those out lightly.

Sounds amazingly similar to Audie Murphy!

This was big news here yestday, with a lot of background information.

Very few things have an emotional effect on me, but his actions certainly did.

He wrote a letter to his parents that defines leadership (not sure if it is mentioned in the links). It brought tears to my eyes.

He was a real hero.
