Rsquared Posted July 14 Report Share Posted July 14 There's an awesome video of President Reagan honoring this brave warrior.

98Z5V Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 You guys must have missed it, but I've posted about Roy Benavidez ALOT here in the past. There's always new stories coming out about him, but the past is always the same. He was DEAD, they thought, and zipped up in a body bag. When they opened the body bag to ID him, he couldn't talk, so he SPIT on them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
