Yeah, I heard about this fight months ago on the air. The man stood in a
M113 manning the TC's .50 keeping hadji's heads down while his engineer
unit withdrew from the building's lower floors. The Hadjis had the upper
floors and were threatening to overwhelm the engineer unit that was
there.

I heard on the news this morning that his son would be accepting the
Posthumous MOH for him. It got me a bit choked up.
