1. Lose not loose

2. People don't "win" the VC. They are awarded the VC. Or they receive the VC. The VC is not a prize one "wins".

What I did not like about the article is that it did not mention what Mr. Kenna did after the war. I do think it is very cool that he married his nurse.

People like Mr. Kenna have a dedication that far surpasses what can be represented by a medal. We can never repay the debt we owe Mr. Kenna. Fortunately, I bet for him, there was no need to. His dedication and his reward come from within
