We have the strongest military the world has ever known but it’s not because of our weapons, our helicopters, or our tanks. It’s because of the ideals that we fight for, and it’s because we have the best team in the world. Today, we honored three true, American heroes.
SFC Alwyn Cashe cared so deeply for his men that he made multiple trips into a flaming vehicle to pull them out. While receiving treatment for his wounds at the hospital -- wounds that would eventually take his life -- he insisted that the doctors tend to him last. #MedalofHonor 
When SFC Celiz's Rangers came under attack, he dodged bullets to get to a heavy-weapons system, allowing his team time to find a safe place for evacuation. And when his weapons weren’t enough to hold off the enemy, he used his body as a shield to protect his team. #MedalofHonor
When the walls of MSG Earl Plumlee's base were breeched, he sprang into action, advancing on the insurgents and firing whatever weapon he could get his hands on. Over and over, he came face to face with the enemy -- some just seven meters away. #MedalofHonor
