    When this guy flew civilian air, he had to buy two tickets. one for himself, the other for his balls.

    My God, there stands a dignified, beautiful, fortified specimen of a man. If ever one requires someone to look up too, look no further than your local VA.

    Truly fitting that MSG Benavidez should receive his Medal of Honor from President Reagan who himself loved America and was a patriot! Roy and Ronnie, two class acts! God bless America!

      +Roy Benavidez There has to be a better way for you to get attention or for you to pass the time, have you considered getting a dog? I'm from Texas and I know the family and trust me, they would not think that what you do is funny or respectful in any way or form, if you do not admire what Benavides did in life that's fine your opinion is respected but is not necessary to disrespect his name and memory in the manner in which you do, just for your amusement.

      +Roy Benavidez I want you to know it is not my intention to offend you but I have seen the comments you've made and I have to tell you that what you do is not a nice thing and I hope you rethink it and make a better decision.

    This was a great President. Greatest President of the 20th century. I love America and Americans. These heros and Ronald Regan live on in thier incredible examples of patriotism. To give everything, out of choice, is what America is all about.

    After Roy checked the gates of heaven for booby traps, a side door suddenly opened up. He was then informed there was a special place in heaven for him alongside other heroes who were willing to lay down their own lives to save others.

    When Mr. Bernavidez spoke in my Leadership Development course, I could not stop laughing at how he spoke about his experiences, but funny was not, he was an honorable, brave, and courageous man who did not tough about him self but about his fellow soldier and brother in arms a testament to his values and training. RIP Roy, you deserve the best room in heaven.

    This man. This is the true definition of a bad ass. The true show what it it takes to be a hero. There are even more details to the story that the president didn't speak of. But I am certain, similar to Audie Murphy, they were left out simply because of time, and the ability to believe they weren't made up.
