Nothing needs to be added.

Former Army Staff Sgt. Ronald Shurer II, who received the Medal of Honor in 2018 for braving heavy gunfire to save lives in Afghanistan, has died of cancer. He was 41.

Miranda Shurer said her husband died Thursday in Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C. She said he was diagnosed with cancer three years ago.

Ronald Shurer II received the nation’s highest military honor from President Donald Trump in a formal White House ceremony attended by 250 people.

    That is a stunning photograph of the President humbled by one man's courage.

      Yes and that really got me.I started to make a caustic remark about the scene if Obama was giving the award but didn't. A picture is worth 1,000 words.
