The word Hero was invented for a man like this outstanding man! God Bless America. If we have men and women with heart, determination and love for fellow Americans like this man, we can never be beat! God Bless this man, his family, those who have served, those that do serve, those that will serve and God Bless Our Beautiful FREE Nation, WE need God now more than ever!
I still believe these should be required viewing in high school. Seniors before graduation should understand freedom is not without sacrifice. Semper Fi
A Great and Humble Patriot ! I. Am Still Surprised That There has Never. Been a Movie Made About Him !
That ‘Remote Location’ Was my home for 6 months while the Green Hornets launched out of my A-Team, SFOD A-253 ‘Happy Duc Co’. Sorry we didn’t have meals to serve you, Boys. 😈👍
Dr Cox replaced my heart valve in August 2023. I met him at my job and who knew years and years later i would have a heart attack and my heart valve failing more (I am overweight 😢 and 48) and he would be the one to save my life. He cares so much and is my hero.

I served onboard USS Rodney M. Davis (FFG 60) from 1997 to 2001. I boarded her in Yokosuka, Japan and a year later, we shifted homeport to Everett, Washington. I spent my formative years working and traveling the world on that ship, all the while learning of and trying to be mindful of the legacy of Sergeant Davis. The man and the ship are both gone, but the legacy lives on. BOLDRUNNER!

“Nontraditional Gender Roles” were not uncommon back in those days, and for centuries before that. Husbands and Wives dedicated to each other and their families had to work their butts off just to survive. Excellent summary on Dr. Walker!
I had the privilege to work with this man for several years in the oil and gas business in Oklahoma. He’s also an attorney and one of the smartest guys I have ever met . True American bad ass and hero.

Thank you for your service, we know why you were picked to be on the front line.... among other things that the USA has done to our young men. GOD put favor on your life, you are my hero.
A wonderful Irish-American. Very proud of him.
He needs a movie about him so bad.
I served under Cpt. Howard in 1973 “C” Rangers 1/29 at Ft. Benning, Ga. Shortly after he he left to start the new Ranger Bn. Change of command took place from Cpt.Petri to Cpt.Howard about later part of 73 or 74.
Thank you. RIP brother
God bless these brave men who answered the call and gave everything they had. It’s because of them we are able to sleep soundly at night and enjoy the freedoms we have today! I just pray that when I pass from this life I will get to shake their hands and express my gratitude to them!
What a mensch ❤ G_d Bless him
The rest is history indeed. The most harrowing story I've ever heard! Simply amazing to keep your cool during all that chaos. Jim still makes a difference. Love the humility of these guys. 😊
