Thanks for posting that clip, B-B, Bernard Fisher typifies the quiet self effacing types who abound in the numbers of those who have received their country's highest award.

Although it is undeniable that when it comes down to it, the job of soldiers, sailors or airmen is to kill his country's enemies, it is nevertheless significant that so many Victoria Crosses and Medals of Honor have been awarded for saving lives in the heat of battle.

Outstanding!
