I really think Jonajosa deserves MoH... At least in my opinion... Acting above call-of-duty, saving your brothers in arms first before willing throw yourself in front of the granade taking the hit to protect your mates.

Be safe.

I'm thinking more Navy Cross (he's a marine, right?). MoH is extremely rare.

This is what makes you deserve Medal of Honor;

"Extraordinary heroism and uncommon valor without regard to his own life in order to save others are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service" and I think that was just what Jonajosa did...

I was in no way down playing what he did. No matter who you are, he's a hero, but what I was saying is it seemed more likely that he would get a Navy Cross (which is the second highest comendation for the Navy and Marines).

The medal of honor is the highest military medal you can achieve, and even what jona did I doubt he'll recieve it, there were what 41 MoH given out of the millions of troops who died to save people? The last I heard was a man from Iraq threw himself over a grenade with his helmet on the grenade to save his troop, and he died seven days later in the hospital.

Is jona in the military? Or is this military? I'm kind of confused I don't know him, if he's in the military and this was during that time he has a pretty high chance of getting one...

He is in the military, if he's in the US Army or Marine I dont know but it doesn't really matter now anyway. If your tough enough to take the granade fragments to protect your mates then I hope he is strong enough to survive this...

Jesus. H. Christ. I hope to God he's all right. I disagreed with him on a lot of things, but I hope to God he's all right. I'm going to post this in the TES forums.

I never met him as i joined only about three months ago but my prayers go out to him.

The ES forums thread, if you'd like to pay your respects there.

This is indeed shocking. I wrote a poem for his heroic deads...


What possibility was it,
That our forums could split?
Something so monstrous,
Was surely the thing of nightmares?
Was indeed of our worst nightmares.
And that,
We regarded as fact.
How did it seem likely?
I'll tell you: it didn't.

Upon the forum,
We had fun.
Agreed and disagreed with some,
We posted posts, tonne upon tonne.

We knew life couldn't be kept perfect,
But we shoved that thought down inside.
This virtual world,
Was mine...

What could happen,
That could ruin our time?
Something so ugly, it was misshappen.
And finaly a bell did chime,
Nature's most horrible crime.

Almost a kill.
An injurie insued.
War and deceit.
The truth was not hid from us,
And one was hurt.
One whom we did not meet.

A troubled country,
A dangerous war.
Our hero became the stuff of lore.
He quite possibly,
Sacraficed something of his.
It's irreplaceable,
Yes, it is.

I'll be thinking about him.

Wait if he's in the military how does he come on here?

He just got deployed about a month ago...

Poor guy.. I can't loose my right wing buddy..

Jona, you've been their for me on arguements and against me iin a few (Albit like 1) but I see your conviction, and I know you did the right thing.

An American Hero - JonaJosa aka Mr. GoodJob Man

-=-

As much as I'd like to say he'd get the Medal of Honor, I know he won't. As someone stated before, out of the millions that have sacrificed themselves few can actually display their might act of valour. But thats not to say the Navy Cross isn't nearly as prestigous.

Thank you JonaJosa for your unwaivering support in the cause.

*Prays for Jona and his family*

I truly hope that he stays safe

Tuesday Night Religion School Was Useful.... But For A Terrible Event

Holy crap....

Hope he pulls through. That was some brave compassion, a bit dumb (the whole being a human sheild bit being the dumb part, that is), but brave.

You have to admit though, either he gets his troops out of the building and takes some shrapnel, or he runs out as fast as he can and gives his troops a possibility of taking some shrapnel and force.

I just received a message saying that things are going the right direction. The family are thankful for all support but wish to stop it now

Because of that I´ll close this thread now and I ask you not to open another one.
