Thank YOU, Corporal Jason Dunham

I recently heard this story.....

So on this Memorial Day, I want to share it......

About a young and brave Marine.....

Who sacrificed it all in Iraq.....

To protect his men.....

And our freedoms.....

Please PRAY for Our Troops today.....

And Thank a Vet, as well!!

Jason Dunham was born on November 10, 1981....



His birthday is the same day as the Marine Corp....

So it was no surprise that he joined the Marines....

His time was short for his tour in Iraq.....

He put in a request to extend over there.....

His Sergeant, and close friend told him.....

"We are headed for some very bad areas!!"

Jason replied, "I know that......."



"I want to make sure you guys make it back...."

"To your wives and families!!"

Coroporal Dunham was one of the few men......

In his platoon that was not married!!

One day his units convoy came under attack.....

Corporal Dunham led his squad....



Toward a group of Iraqi cars attempting to leave....

They stopped the cars to search for weapons....

An insurgent jumped from his vehicle.....

And started to physically attack Corporal Dunham....

In the hand to hand combat with the insurgent....

Corporal Dunham saw a grenade hit the ground....

He yelled so his squad could hear him.....

"GRENADE!!!!"

Instead of running......

Corporal Dunham threw his Kevalar helmet over the grenade....

And threw himself over the helmet.....

He and two other Marines were injured from the blast....



This is what was left of his helmet after the blast!!

His body received the majority of the explosion.....

Eight days later, in Bethesda, Maryland....

He died from his injuries.....

With his family there by his bedside......

As was the Commandant and the Sergeant Major of the Marines!!

Two years later, he was awarded.....

The Congressional Medal of Honor

Posthumously, by President George W. Bush....

The Award was presented to his family.....



The story of his sacrifice was told again.....

To which his Mother replied......

"That comes as no surprise to us......"

"As Jason was always looking out for others!!"

So allow me to say it again......

Thank YOU, Corporal Jason Dunham!!

Allow me to say it to those that I know that are serving....

Thank YOU, Sergeant Hector Perez!!

Thank YOU, Sergeant Rick Brown!!

Thank YOU, Private Bryan Nagel!!

(This is my oldest son, just finished his training,.....

Heading back to his Reserve Unit in Alaska, where he moved to!)

But most of all, today as you fill that paper plate....

Full of burgers and salads and hoist a cold beer.....

Say "Thank You" to ALL of the Jason Dunhams.....



That have paid the price for YOU and ME.....

So that WE can live in the GREATEST Country in the World.....

Full of freedoms to live our lives as we want....

Freedom of religion.....

Freedom of choices.....

Freedom to work for others.....

Freedom to work for ourselves.....

Freedom to be a bum, if we want to......

Freedom to be a Millionaire, if we want to.....

Freedom to share our thoughts and ideas with others.....

Freedom to NOT accept those same things from others.....

Freedom to own property.....

Freedom to own guns.....

Freedom to spend our money as we see fit.....

Freedom to borrow money, as we may need....

I know, the majority of my friends that will read this...

Are home based Entrepreneurs.....

Or they are working on starting up a business.....

Allow ME to put ONE REQUEST upon YOU.....

For today......and ALWAYS......

"Build your business as Jason Dunham....."

"Lived and Sacrificed his Life - Looking Out For Others!!!"

Don't build it at the expense of others.....

Build YOUR business by building the People.....

Print out a picture of Jason Dunham.....

(I like the one with the baseball cap on)

Put it near your phone.....

Or near your computer.....

Make it a NEW version of....."WWJD".....

"What Would Jason Do????"

Look out for others......FIRST!!!

For those curious on how to build OTHERS first.....

Stop over to The Million Mind March....
