Thank You, Jason Dunham

Time out from Bush bashing and speculation about whether the U.S. is going to war with Iran to pay tribute to Marine Corporal Jason L. Dunham, who he threw himself on a grenade to shield two men in his unit as they battled insurgents on a road in Iraq.

On Thursday, President Bush gave Dunham, who was 22 when he died, the Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest military award, presenting it to his mother and father in a somber East Room ceremony attended by his relatives and friends.

The president cried at the ceremony.
