Hey Jolie

Hi Jolie!

Wow! That's absolutely worth a VC! It's amazing how brave these soldiers were. I'd like to think I'd have the same bravery as they did, but it's hard to know until you're faced with the same situation.

What other kinds of things do you think these men were given VC's for?

Nicky :)
