Shot in neck, with blood spilling over his throat, machine-gunner Simon Moloney knew he had to return to the fight or his comrades would be over-run by the Taliban.
So, just minutes after thinking he had been fatally wounded, he was back in the heat of battle and helping to repel a ferocious attack.
He only quit 90 minutes later after being ordered to by his commanding officer.

Brave people. Good to see them all recognized for their service.

Well deserved honors. One day, maybe, we'll no longer have to see or hear about such heroism under fire, but, until then, it si good to know there are such brave soldiers looking out for us all...
