    I always love to read things like this. I know it's sad, but it's also encouraging, and from one of the quotes it sounded like he was a Christian (the media likes to dim down things like that, so you can't always be sure), and being Christian myself it's all the more encouraging, knowing I get to meet this guy one day. I can honestly say that that would also be my first impulse, to protect them by doing that. Fearing death has never got anyone anything but death.

    You folks may not agree with my faith, but you can't disprove me ;). *adds dude to super long heroes list*


    Thank you for posting that :)

    Oof?
    When I first read the title, I was thinking of a seal as in...a swimming mammal, that...swims, you know what I mean ._. And that some seal had jumped on a grenade for some reason, meh.

    RIP, took a lot of courage D:
