I could never do something like this. How can some people have wills so strong, I will never understand. Some people are just built different. All we can do is admire them.

A coward dies 1000 times, a warrior, only once. Rest in peace to this warrior.

This story hits harder than most. George Libby didn’t just fight he chose to become a human shield while bleeding out. That’s not just courage, that’s self-sacrifice at its rawest. Makes me wonder: in today’s world, would we still have people like him? Or have we become too comfortable to understand that kind of bravery?

A Day In History
When his convoy was ambushed in Korea, Sgt. George Libby watched his brothers fall around him. Soon, he was the only one left standing in that nightmare.
But he wasn't about to let his wounded men die in the dirt.
Under withering enemy fire, Libby ran across that road multiple times, dragging wounded soldiers to cover. Bullets were flying everywhere, but he kept moving and saving lives.
When he spotted an artillery vehicle, he flagged it down and used his own body as a human shield for the driver. Enemy rounds tore into him, but he wouldn't move. He kept loading his injured men into that vehicle while bullets found their mark.
The medics tried to help him, but Libby waved them off. His wounds were bleeding freely, but he stayed at his post, returning fire and protecting his soldiers.
He held that ground until his body couldn't take anymore. Only when he lost consciousness did George Libby finally stop fighting.
His refusal to quit, his willingness to bleed for his brothers saved many lives that day. But it cost him his own.
