Soldier Gives Wounded Reporter(Dozier) His Purple Heart

[rsmith6621]

BERLIN -- Kimberly Dozier, the CBS reporter wounded by a car bomb in Iraq, now has a Purple Heart at her bedside in a U.S. military hospital in Germany after a young American soldier gave her his medal, the network said.

Dozier, 39, was seriously injured in a blast Monday while covering a story on Memorial Day in Iraq. Her camera crew, Britons Paul Douglas and James Brolan, were killed in the attack, along with a U.S. soldier and an Iraqi translator.

1. Awwww.....

doesn't that make you all warm and fuzzy for the war now?

If it's true, that was a selfless act on the soldier's part.

2. I see no reaon for sarcasm

That soldier whether you agree with the war or not gave her something he thought was very important. My god I'm sensing he appreciates the stories, the true stories the reporters are trying to bring to the American people. I hope I do see him on CNN

to be pleased this happened to her since they hate anyone from CBS after the Dan Rather mess.

8. He probably already has 3, and does not expect

to live through this deployment, much less the next one

9. Probably be the thing that will mean the most to her the rest of her life

Bless his heart

10. This is a real story

and not just some freeptard calling up that fake reporter on Faux saying he would award her his bronze star . . . where'd the freeptard get it? From the X-Box "Blackhawk Down" game?

11. a kind and sweet act

he is probably more aware of her injuries than we (not in Berlin) are.
