'He provided suppressive fire, while his men evacuated, rescuing his entire squad at the risk of his own life. Only when his men were all out did David exit the building. But the fighting was far from over.'
Trump said Bellavia reentered the building, killing four and seriously wounding a fifth.
'Bleeding and badly wounded, David single-handedly defeated the forces who had attacked his unit and would have killed them all had it not been for the bravery of David,' Trump said.
During the ceremony, Bellavia gave a statement to the press in which he credited his comrades both living and dead.

American hero.
Sad I will only hear about him here and not on the front page of every news channel next to the story about the Kardashians.

There is a hell of a great book about this day called "House to house". Highly recommended

Unfortunately, he is no hero to the left or the mainstream media. NOW, if he was a gay tranny forcing his five year old to have gender reassignment surgery -- THEN he would be a hero to the left and worthy of front page news for his "bravery".

A true hero. Too bad most people won't hear about him because they watch CNN or MSNBC.

The kids joining the military today were 3 years old when that battle happened.

Really fricking telling. Watched CBS news this morning, and not a mention of this.
They covered Mueller, Migrants, and Cardi B
