- The son of a career Naval Officer, Walter Bryan Jackson earned the Eagle Scout Award in 1999 while in the 10th grade, and participated in the JROTC program throughout his high school years. He graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point with the Class of 2005.
On September 27, 2006, then 2nd Lt. Jackson and his unit were attempting to recover a disabled vehicle along the road in what was then the deadliest province in Iraq. As his unit worked on the disabled vehicle, they came under severe machine gun fire from insurgent forces.
The commander and first sergeant were hit almost immediately. Seeing this, Jackson quickly crossed the road to the first sergeant's side and applied a pressure bandage to the wound. Within a minute of reaching the sergeant, Jackson himself was hit in the thigh and hand. He slumped over, but continued to return suppressive fire while himself and others evacuated the wounded.
For his actions Walter Bryan Jackson would be awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, an award second only to the Medal of Honor.

Thank you for your service brother and for fighting for our freedom. May the rest of your days be filled with peace and love
Great story of Individual Courage! Thank you Sir for your Service and Leadership🇺🇲🇺🇲
You can't deny that very few Men in todays generation are as loyal and strong willed as this Man. Salute to you Soldier. You deserve nothing but the very best.
One of the baddest MF we have today, hands down. There are a ton of people out there that are combat vets but this guys story is incredible to hear and document, wish we can hear them all
@@craigshewchuk9018 some of the best men never made it home
@@Anon-greyman exactly, that's why I wish we can hear them all.
I expect you would find Gen Z to have just as many men who are loyal and strong if they become needed.
@@donalharris3724 I'm sure some would step up
Ramadi was my A/O in 06-07 it was vicious, deadly , hell on earth fighting . We didn’t leave the wire in single time in 06 Ramadi with out having a TIC or an IED . I still have bad dreams about that place .
Thank You so much for your service and You will never be forgotten Dear American Sir.🙏
American?????🤔 Correction: European American now that's facts
Anytime you raise your right hand and take the OATH for the military you volunteered giving your life whether you realized it or not. Did 26 years and some change. God bless ALL VETERANS!⚓️🇺🇸✌🏻🍻
God Bless them and you, Thank you!

Thank you Sir
Thank you so much for fighting our freedom.
He is the MAN!
Why do you guys keep putting thumbnails that make it look like these heroes are being shot in the head? This seems to be a recurring theme. It's so easy to use the same images, just switch sides. They are heroes, and this is a simple fix that would be much more respectful.
Thank you!
Thank you Captain.
I wonder if our fathers knew each other... My father was in the Navy and he was stationed in GTMO Bay Cuba where I was born on base... Then he was stationed in Jacksonville FL from 1989 to 1992... We lived in base housing until he retired... Being a Navy brat was very beneficial... even though I didn't go to the military my father instilled in us kids great morals respect and honor. Thank you all for your service in the name of freedom
Thank you for your service and my freedom.
Thank you Mr. Jackson. You’re an inspiration and will take account of your service in reflection of my own. Your words speak volumes on leadership, honor, valor, and selfless service. God bless you my brother in Christ.
The bad situation was compromised further by having the commissioned and non commissioned officers in the same vehicle!
Thank you for your service my guy second most respected people in my life and number one is God❤❤❤❤❤
Thank You so much.❤️🔥🇺🇸🙏
Anyone happen to know what warship that is in the show case behind him is. Possibly what scale it may be 1/350 ?
Gif bless you.
Make this dude prez instead of the other crooks
im very proud of veterans. my father served as a marine in combat in vietnam. but lets also acknowledge the iraq war was a criminal enterprise based on known falsehoods. hundreds of thousands of innocent iraqis died along with 4,000 americans. as americans we need to look at this and question our corrupt leadership.
❤🤍💙🇺🇸
The same country raised this incredible man and also Bone Spurs Trump.
Thank You so much for your service and lovely dedications to Our Beautiful USA Dear American Sir.🤗🥰😍🙏❤🤍💙🇺🇲💪🏻👍🎊🎉🔥
WE APPRECIATE YOU BRYAN
