Took my program this past year at John Jay and they were great! I inquired about Laguardia as well and did hear back from them but decided to go with JJ as I thought the program there was more comprehensive.

MARINE 1STSGT NOMINATED FOR THE MEDAL OF HONOR!

(Unconfirmed about nomination)

Marine 1st Sergeant Brad Kasal (in the middle). This photo is from the most recent major offensive in Fallujah. 1stSgt Kasal sacrificed his own safety to save a room full of fellow Marines. He ended up taking several AK rounds in the leg. Most of his lower leg was blown away but you can't tell it from this pic. He took rounds in the back which his armor saved

him from. He took one round through his butt which passed through both cheeks leaving 4 holes in him. And he also took the brunt of a grenade

blast. He jumped on top of a younger Marine to cover him from the fire. He killed the enemy who did most of the damage to him and his men, and despite a massive loss of blood he never stopped fighting. Notice that he's still holding his pistol. He has been put in for the

Medal of Honor for his actions on that day. He already has several Purple Hearts for previous battles throughout his career and he has turned some down so that he could stay with his unit.

Umm, as a former combat medic and witness to a few of the sacrifices you describe I gotta call B.S. most of these sacrifices were for the soldier next to them, or just rotten fu**ing luck. Also never saw anyone "die for their country" they died screaming, raging, and fighting for life.

.

The USA may not be perfect but when did we ever harm civilians on their own soil not during war time........as a terrorist act?!

.

Really? Perhaps not directly, but through such entities as the school of the americas the Uncle Sam's hands are dripping with blood. Every dictator in south and central america learned their skills at Fort Benning GA. a place dubbed as Torture U by the soldiers who run it.

I dont think that 9/11 was good, I dont like those who did it, but I do have respect for them. From the perspective of a warrior, they made the ultimate sacrifice in a fight against an aggressor that they cannot defeat in conventional ways. The utilized tools that were available to the best of their abilities, and to their advantage.

As a US citizent these people are my enemies. But they did not do this because they were bored, or because they just wanted to stir the pot. They took these actions out of a conviction to their beliefs that few americans possess.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You "respect" people who kill innocent men, women & children civilians who are not soldiers nor at war on the battlefield? I'm sorry but this is the most assinine statement I have ever read regardless of you being a US citizen or not. You want to respect a warrior? Try respecting one of our soldiers who in many cases fell on a grenade or took a bullet knowing full well they were sacrificing their own life to protect your 1st amemndment right to post your opinion on the internet...all the while engaging an armed enemy, not a civilan. Few americans possess these convictions? I certainly hope not as there terrorist convictions. The USA may not be perfect but when did we ever harm civilians on their own soil not during war time........as a terrorist act?!

You may want to respect the creativity of an army or persons who perhaps display the whole David vs. Goliath thing but to verbalize respect for actions and convictions of terrorists is beyond disgusting.

I was living and working in NYC that day and still do. Perhaps if you witnessed 9/11 with your own eyes up close and personal you might not be so impressed. You have a right to think and post what you want as I do so we'll chalk it up to a great topic that will stir some good emotion and response. I prefer to support and be impressed with the convictions of our own troops and not the actions of terrorists but true soldiers who know the real meaning of honor and sacrifice.
