I am ashamed to say, I have never heard of this man, my gosh, true heroism.

 

On Oct 17, 2005 SFC Alwyn C. Cashe was mortally wounded, willfully allowing himself to burn to death in a heroic attempt to save 6 of his brothers in arms trapped inside of a burning Bradley.
SFC Cashe, covered in fuel, rushed to the vehicle, igniting himself. He heroically struggled to lower the ramp, all the while on fire himself. Upon the lowering of the ramp, SFC Cashe, still on fire, entered the vehicle 3 times removing his trapped and dazed brothers.
SFC Cashe died on November 8, 2005 and was awarded the Silver Star for Valor (post) on Nov 11, 2005.
Please, honor SFC Cashe as he honored all of us with his selfless ultimate sacrifice. RIP, brother.

"My brother (SFC Cashe) told me an officer once asked him why when they were in a danger zone he was always out front," his brother, Karlos Cashe, said during Saturday's services. "He told me that he said, `I'm at peace with myself and God, and some of these other guys might not have reached that point yet.' That was my brother."
