Reading the comments I see a lot of people on here talking about Trump or Clinton. THIS IS NOT ABOUT EITHER OF THEM. This is about Staff Sergeant Ronald Shurer. Do not make this man of honor your platform for politics. This man is a hero and that is all we should be talking about.
@Daniel_az His bravery and courageous actions put him there. Although politics put him in the situation, he didn't have to act in the way he did. Think about it.
clay collins medics/corpsman in special force teams are not only a special force operator but also have to deal with treating wounded brothers. They are the unsung heroes of the special forces. CMoH recipient Navy Master Chief Special Warfare Operator Edward Byers was also a corpsman of his SEAL team. In addition CMoH recipient Navy Master Chief Britt Slabinski is also a trained Paramedic. This former Staff Sergeant is currently a special agent assigned to US Secret Service Counter Assault Team-Special Operations Division at the Whitehouse.
@@timothysantiago2615 Specifically what hate and what boasting are you talking about? I remember him saying he doesn't feel guilty for killing someone but he has also acknowledged that the only reason he was fighting those people was because he was born in a different country then them, that they both were fighting for a cause they couldn't see themselves, or are you talking about his disgruntle view of his own military because those views might be justified considering he was left to dry by the Army commanders that day.
Imagine the mountainside this warrior ascended and descended, saved countless lives, left no man behind. Now imagine similar mountainside during Korean War where 1500 men died a week for months. We owe our veterans much much more than they are getting. They shouldn’t have to fight another battle when they come home.
Every time someone is presented the Medal of Honor you can tell by the look on there face they were remembering everything they had to endure to get that medal the look is always the same
Congressional Medal of Honor recipients receive many benefits to include but not limited to; 10% retirement pay increase, additional $1,500 a month with cost-of-living increases, air transportation priority on DoD flights and benefits for dependents to fly on overseas flights onboard DoD overseas flights for free for life, Special commissary privileges for them and their dependents, granted privilege to be buried in Arlington Cemetery, fully qualified children of recipients are eligible for admission to any US military academies without regard to nomination or quota, special uniform allowance, invited to all presidential balls and inaugurations of presidents, 40 states offer Medal of Honor special plates, you get salutes form military personnel’s regardless of rank,
15:06 this man has to relive everything on "paper" said out loud to him. I don't think he can relive his memories. This man is a hero, I wish him the best.
Lightning Thats procedure regardless of the President or whomever , I’ve heard it told twice before . They go over what happened so people know what our hero did and what was sacrificed.
I just heard about Ron’s passing today, RIP brother. I went through AIT with Ron; we were good friends. We must have also been different cycles in selection and Q, as well as serving in different units (apparently he was 3rd, I was 1st(1/Bco/125th). I had no clue he’d become a triple volunteer or won the Congressional! It’s weird bc once you part ways with so many ppl, you’ve no idea what they end up doing. In this case, Ron’s career paralleled my own and I was completely unaware until the announcement of his death today. My thoughts and prayers are with Ron’s family. Di Oppresso Liber, brother...
MaŁiK Šmïth yep, another man down, that’s how it happens, Malik. We few (I’m talking about my brothers in group) are a dying breed. Ron was one of us. I’ll never forget him or any of those of us who were taken early. Quality, persistence and excellence in carrying out my every task of every remaining day on this earth is how I honor them...all of them... my brothers who can no longer walk this earth, kiss their families, experience every infinitesimal detail that is life. I will, as long as I exist, continue for them and with their memory always.
Honoring our nations heroes may be the most beautiful part of American decorum. These are moments both sides can come together and pay respect to the men and women that risk it all for our freedoms and the liberty of people around the world. Beautiful.
The NFL SISSIES should take knee in honor of this REAL American hero. From one Army Medic to another... I salute you! God bless and thanks for your remarkable service.
nfl blks are democrat's slaves. The free nfl welfare check ensures they keep their kind the slaves they are. The military needs to draft all of those slaves and make them earn their keep like the normal peoplein this vid.
Sgt Shurer is a real hero! His Commander-in-Chief conducted the ceremony excellently and demonstrated genuine gratitude for the extraordinary sacrifices of our Armed Forces personnnel.
This always makes me cry with pride and love for these Tough, Brave, selfless soldiers. This reminds me to do better an be brave in my everyday life in my cushy easy world! Thank You SSgt!!!!!!!!! an all who survived that battle! What a Man among Men!!
@robert howard Maybe back in the day they fought for real reasons. But iraq and afghanistan they werent fighting for our "freedom" thats what they thought. If they were fighting terrorist why did ISIS come out? Because they were fighting for the wars of the elites. These ppor men and women come home with PTSD and no one cares about them because the elites are making money from your diaster
Mattis should be the one providing the medal. Trump dodged Vietnam when the nation called 5-6 times for bone spurs yet now in his 70's is able to play golf 2-3 times a week.
May God bless you Ron, and your precious family. Thank you soldier, you are in my prayers. MUCH love to you brave soldier, you make us proud to be Americans. Aloha and much love J
Even though I would never go to war. If I were to, I would like to be every person has received this gracious medal and the respect of citizens. God I seriously wanna see this medal in person
Not about the money, now whenever anyone who recognizes that medal they immediately salute and thank the wearer for their service. That medal is the highest medal you can ever receive which even the president has to personally put on and recognize it
It has zero to do with money for these service men. It also has zero to do with the president that awards them. It’s about their faithful service to our nation and for their brothers in arms. No service goes out for a Medal. They do it for their brothers in the field.
These men are amazing any conflict ! As my father In Vn as 5th SF , my two sons in Army and USAF ,,,And any child serving and served God bless them all
It is interesting that the medics are the bravest of the brave. The VC Bar, the highest award in the UK, has only been awarded three times. Two of these were awarded to medics.
Daniel _az, Democracy got the president where he is and bravery, valor, heroism, and action beyond the call of duty got this Soldier the Medal of Honor. In so doing sir, he preserved the Democratic process by which we Americans voted for President Trump...Our Commander In Chief.
Brian Buckmaster Why is it the first thing those on the Left do when they disagree with someone is to accuse them of watching "FAUX" News? Actually watch all three cable news networks almost evenly because I want to get a balanced point of view. Appears that your afraid to get a balanced point of view.
Listening to what this very good and splendid man did choked me up some. May our Heavenly Father bless his soul and that of his family and allow him to RIP.
These American hero's never feel they deserve this award there comrades that didn't come home are allways on there minds they all say the same thing but we know what hero's they really truly are may god bless them watch over them and help them heal.
Congratulations SSG Shurer, for receiving our nations highest military medal! Your courage, valor, and obvious bravery are exceptional qualities for any man to possess, and you Seargent deserve everyone's respect. Thank you from one veteran to another.
Let us all appreciate our liberty to disagree with each other about our politics, made possible by the wonderful people of our armed forces, who stood to sacrifice everything. Hopefully we can all see past our disagreements for a moment, and be united in respecting and honoring people like Ronald Shurer. Whatever your party, whatever your religion, whatever your race, we are Americans FIRST. Our nation's heroes, such as Staff Sgt. Schurer, remind us of that. I wish him a long and prosperous life.
What is wrong with some of these people in the comments, a man came under fire to save the lives of others. He was awarded the highest honor and achievement our military has to offer. Yet I read crap about the military being run by jews, anti trump crap and how killing isn't heroic, no matter the circumstances. Honestly this man was brave enough to do what all those whom speak against him couldn't. It shouldn't matter who gives the award to a true warrior of deserving valor, and if your loyalty to your nation shrinks with who's president, I would argue that your neither a supporter of those who take the oath you chose not to, nor proud of the sacrifices those before gave to allow you the right to disgrace a man of his level. I'm not happy with some of the things currently going on with my country, and I accept that you arnt either. But if all you do is hate those that take an oath to secure your rights no matter what cost, against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. Then I thoroughly beleive that what comes out of your mouth, or what you post; is not worth reading.

I love your profile pic my friend. That soldier you display was an extraordinary one as well.
talk about a badass. he was in the special forces now hes in the secret service.

lol that remind you of a couple of movies ? 👀
Wouldn't YOU recruit from the special forces? I would. If I needed a body guard he would be at the top of my list.

Job well done Mr. Shurer.
Did his job under extreme duress...
Hats off to this Medic...
Thank you sir.
Why don't they give every medal of honor recipients a million dollars as an added thank you?
no clue but they do get a 1500 dollars a month for life
