The 'Phoenix Sun' did a list of the unsexiest men in the world, and I made it to number one. I beat out Bin Laden. He's a terrorist, hasn't bathed in months. I beat him out. To me it was a great honor.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Personally, it was a big honor for me meeting so many families of the fallen soldiers and hearing their stories.
I used to be known as one of the strongest guys on the planet.
My children and grandchildren loved the secret servicemen and women that served us. I was honoured that they thought I was important enough to protect.
The men I write can be intense, quiet, outspoken and outrageous, deadly or fun... but I would never waste time on a hero who wasn't honorable, who didn't protect those who couldn't protect themselves, who didn't value children and pets, who wasn't independent and unselfish.
I served two tours of duty in Vietnam. I won the Bronze Star. I won the Purple Heart.
I can't tell you what an honor it is, to even be mentioned in the same breath with Arthur Ashe. This is something I certainly will treasure forever.
It's an amazing thing to hear they're finally giving out a Medal of Honor to a soldier from the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Gen. David Petraeus, commander of U.S. troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and at Centcom, is probably the most decorated officer of his generation.
I felt like an extraordinary hero. I was only five or six and I had the whole of life in my hands. Even if I had been driving the carriage of the sun I could not have felt any better.
I have decorated soldiers for heroism before, and it was always such an honor to do it.
