MOH recipient Danny Peterson was a brave man who fought to the end to save his men. God bless Mr. Peterson and all who like him, fought for their country and sacrificed their own life so others might live. Thank you Tara.

This one made my eyes leak. We can hardly comprehend the suffering and sacrifice of others for the sake of freedom. So glad you are putting the spotlight on some unnoticed and forgotten heroes, Tara.

I have read Lincoln's letter many times and every time I am moved by his loving words, filled with compassion and understanding. The great sacrifices laid on that altar are not forgotten, they are honored. Love for all who have laid their lives down so others might live.

Bravery and service of this manner aptly is recognized in Peterson's receiving the MOH. Somehow, it seems too little... Thank you for calling him to remembrance, Tara Ross.

Thank you, Danny Peterson, and Thank you, Tara, for keeping these heroes' memories alive. If not you, then who. Lincoln's letter always brings tears to my eyes, but these heroes have certainly earned feelings from our hearts.

What a wonderful story of heroism. Thank you Tara. This is a nice way for all of us to start our week. Makes ne proud to be an American, but those lives were lost for nothing.

While they are well intended, our words are woefully inadequate to comfort those who experience such a loss. Still, we must acknowledge the great sacrifice of men like Mr. Peterson and their families. We are the beneficiaries of such heroism as much as the men he saved that day. Thank you, Mr. Petersen and family.

Betsy Tara Ross Thank you for your stories that constantly remind us that "FREEDOM isn't free". These soldiers knew that, but we who sit at home often forget that. These stories of our brave men remind us. Thanks again for your reminders to honor their sacrifices.
