Heroes are humble and most feel they were doing their job. Protecting each other is a big part of the job. His quote says it perfectly. “Am I a hero?” he later mused. “I don’t know. I was there, it happened. Other people can make that determination. I just did it—maybe without thinking.”. God bless all of our heroes. Thank you Tara.
God bless the brave men like Allan Kellogg who do super human things, like jumping on a grenade to protect the others.
He had to prove to himself that he was a real Marine and I believe that he succeeded in amazing fashion.
Mr. Kellogg was awarded the MOH very deservedly for his actions. No question about it, he performed exactly like a real Marine.
God bless Mr. Kellogg and all who serve or have served to protect us from those who would do us wrong. Thank you Tara for another MOH Monday. And, welcome back to duty Ms. Ross.
Tara .. most uplifting - thank you. We all need to absorb more of this meaningful content about brave patriotic individuals - especially to offset gloomy news and related commentary thrust upon us continually. We are blessed to live in a free country thanks to these courageous defenders of liberty.
As a civilian employee, I worked with the U.S. Marines for over 25 years.
Sgt. Kellogg probably sat down in a mess hall with me, but know one in the mess hall would known that they were eating with a meal with a humble hero in their midst. That’s how the Marine Corps roll. Duty first, bragging, Never!
Ordinary men doing extraordinary acts to save the lives of others. These heroes are what Jesus said “There is no greater love than give your life to save another.” Perhaps many of them survive their actions, but all were willing to take that risk.
Let us all remember that ALL service men (including all law enforcement, firefighters, and rescue personal) when they sign their name and take their oath’s of office are willingly take the risk of their lives to serve.
Anyone who willingly puts themselves in danger for others is a hero, even if he just does it on instinct. Yes, others decided and he was awarded the MOH which he richly deserved. So glad he lived through that experience and could be celebrated for what he did. Thank you, Tara, for sharing his story.

Tara, welcome back from spring break, and I hope you had some good family time, and maybe had a chance to relax and recharge.
Great MOH Monday. “Am I a hero ?”, Kellogg mused later. I’ll answer that: YES ! Throwing oneself on a grenade qualifies, and I think the Marines he helped save would agree. He did not even have to be there but he chose to; that is bravery in itself. I wish I enjoyed history when I was young as much as I do now !

Humility. Acting without thinking of himself. Putting it all at risk. Duty. Honor. How can one not respect such a man?
“Just trying to save the people”!
Ready and willing to give his all for his fellow soldiers!
Kellogg was a real hero!
Thank you, Tara, for this story of heroism under fire!

Sergeant Major Kellogg was a career Marine! And he really was a humble hero, just like so many others. He's still living too!
Hope you and your loved ones had a great Spring Break.
Great start to a new week! Thanks. There’s never enough emphasis on the heroism of our MoH recipients.
This hero was certainly no "ordinary" hero. Thank you Tara for this account.
