I dont think the soldier would of had time to think about salvation or awards. which makes me think would you throw yourself on a grenade jen to protect the poor folks in jc :lol:

what about a soldier throwing himself on a grenade to protect his comrades.

I wouldnt say that jen, i know there are probably many mystery donors to charities who like to stay anonymous, but i wouldnt think any less of them if they publicised it.
