Real Life Heroine! (Videos)

(Simon Cowell at The X Factor Praises Nesbitt)

(HRH The Prince of Wales personally presents Seaman Nesbitt with the MC in an investiture at Buckingham Palace.)


Watch these all the way through. They tell the story of Able Seaman Kate Nesbitt, MC, the second woman in history to receive the Military Cross for gallantry in battle. She is the very first female sailor to receive this decoration.) Nesbitt is a medic in the Royal Navy, serving in Afghanistan. She was accompanying the First Battalion, The Rifles, a famous Army regiment, on patrol.

Her saving the life of a badly wounded soldier while under very heavy Taliban fire made her a heroine. Unlike Xena and Wonder Woman, Nesbitt is a real life heroine, of the first order. Note how modest she seems while being praised by TV host Simon Cowell and various other figures. Although enemy bullets were zipping right past her own helmet, Nesbitt opened an airway and got a transfusion going for the casualty, who survived because of her coolness under fire and her medical skills. She charged directly across open ground to reach him and treated him in full view of the enemy.

May God bless her. She is only five feet, two inches tall, but she stands high in the annals of courage. And her bold deed made history!

They must be: I've seen girls dressed like them, on Halloween. :D Some were really cute, although I prefer the ones dressed like Princess Leia, while a slave of Jabba the Hutt. But I've heard rumors that the guy you think is Santa Claus in stores isn't the real fellow. Maybe that's why I didn't get all of the S&W's that I asked for last year. ;)
 
Thanks for posting this. She's really inspiring and a good example to her fellow man.

Maybe a reappraisal of your relative goodness last year might disclose the real answer, hah!

Bryan-

I think the real answer is that Santa forgot to renew his US Firearms Importer's and Dealer's license. Or, the Canadians may claim the North Pole, and wouldn't let the handguns pass over their territory! :rolleyes:

Thought I'd get this up where members will see it this weekend. This is a very brave young lady!

I am glad to see her receive this honor, similar to our Silver Star.
