Yet, for Jones, his bronze medal signifies a life-the life, and death, of 20-year-old SPC Allen Vandayburg, "who [made] the ultimate sacrifice and who deserves the real credit," Jones said. SPC Vandayburg was killed at the battle in Buhriz.
"All I ask of people at home is to realize that whether or not they agree with the foreign policies that landed us in Iraq in the first place, remain humble in the face of the sacrifices that are being made here everyday," Jones said.
"There are 19 and 20-year-old men who sleep in holes, never quit, and who learn brutally how costly freedom from tyranny can be."
thanks go out to him and to everyone else serving honorably there.
