Matthew Croucher: Hero

30 March 2008

Commando Matthew Croucher threw himself on a grenade, saving his squad mates from injury or death. Price he paid? A bloody nose. He may be awarded a Victoria Cross, which would put him in rare company. One nit to pick with the coverage: I don’t think you “win” the Victoria Cross any more than you “win” the Medal of Honor.
