Having never served, it feels inappropriate for me to salute him, but I'll stand in silence for a minute.
And I notice ... 2008, 80 years old... he was 37 in 1965. Not some reckless "I'm bullet-proof" early twenties lad, but a guy who had been around long enough to get some sense and know what happens to people who take lots of risks... and he took them anyway, to save others. It doesn't get much braver than that.
