From Megan's link.....
When introducing Kevin to the King and Queen of The Netherlands, the recipient stated that Kevin was his role model for his actions that led to the award.
Gongs are fine....but this is the kind of Honor that says it all about both Soldiers.
Hand Salute, Kevin!
Real courage is not the absence of Fear.....it is going about your Duty notwithstanding being filled with Fear.
Combat takes a toll on all who experience it.
