I'm just sayin...: Pictures from last weekend...

Know Your Medal of Honor Recipients:

First Lieutenant Albert E. Fernald (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on April 1, 1865, at Five Forks, Virginia. His citation reads:

During a rush at the enemy, Lt. Fernald seized, during a scuffle, the flag of the 9th Virginia Infantry (C.S.A.).

Specialist Fourth Class Daniel Fernandez (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on February 18, 1966, at Cu Chi, Hau Nghia Province, Republic of Vietnam. His citation reads:

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Sp4c. Fernandez demonstrated indomitable courage when the patrol was ambushed by a Viet Cong rifle company and driven back by the intense enemy automatic weapons fire before it could evacuate an American soldier who had been wounded in the Viet Cong attack. Sp4c. Fernandez, a sergeant and 2 other volunteers immediately fought their way through devastating fire and exploding grenades to reach the fallen soldier. Upon reaching their fallen comrade the sergeant was struck in the knee by machine gun fire and immobilized. Sp4c. Fernandez took charge, rallied the left flank of his patrol and began to assist in the recovery of the wounded sergeant. While first aid was being administered to the wounded man, a sudden increase in the accuracy and intensity of enemy fire forced the volunteer group to take cover. As they did, an enemy grenade landed in the midst of the group, although some men did not see it. Realizing there was no time for the wounded sergeant or the other men to protect themselves from the grenade blast, Sp4c. Fernandez vaulted over the wounded sergeant and threw himself on the grenade as it exploded, saving the lives of his 4 comrades at the sacrifice of his life. Sp4c. Fernandez' profound concern for his fellow soldiers, at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty are in the highest traditions of the U.S. Army and reflect great credit upon himself and the Armed Forces of his country.

Corporal George Ferrari (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on September 23, 1869, at Red Creek, Arizona. His citation reads:

Gallantry in action.

Picture Tuesday>

Below are some pictures from this past weekend. They include a little Derby/Cinco de Mayo get together that we went to Saturday night and pics from the WWE event I went to Sunday night. There were enough pics from the weekend that this is just the first part… more pics from the WWE event will post next week. Enjoy! Oh yeah, most of the wrestling pictures are courtesy of my cousin Alan. Also, the wrestling pics aren't really in any kind of order...
