A new word should be invented to describe this young man. Hero seems cheap!

Agreed. This man's more than a hero. To sacrifice your life for the lives of others when you could have easily spared your life is more than heroic.....that's the bravest, most self-sacrificial thing that a person can do.

God bless him.

I am so glad to hear that you feel so proud of this man. I also find that to be very honorable, being a veteran. I just want to ask a question. Do you realize that that's exactly what Jesus Christ did for you? He willingly took your place to die. He even had time to think and pray about it. Isn't that great? I say more than great! God bless you all!
