In the 'War on Terror' that makes one Brit and one Commonwealth soldier from Genada that has won the VC. Given that people are calling this another Thirty Year's War, we can expect that Canucks, Aussie and Kiwis will also be recipients of this rarest of military honours before this thing is over.
Good news at Christmas - to hear that valour still prevails. May God bless him and his family.
