Rest in Peace MSG Oresko.
Awesome story, Bison. Thanks for sharing.
It was very touching to read how people (including current military personnel) showed up at the hospital so that he wouldn't die alone. (Not to mention his taking out those machine-gun positions was bad-ass!) RIP Mr. Oresko.
Godspeed.
RIP
