Oh duh! I totally forgot (thanks to some for reminding me). Username TheKiwi! He is in the service, got injured protecting his troop and is recovering in a hospital in Singapore! Bless his little heart! He's even convinced the nurses to let him vape some ;)

That's where my vote goes.

Here's the post from the thread where TheKiwi explained after a noticeable absence what had happened to him, posted on 5-21-2014 (he had posted on 5-9-2014 that he was being deployed to Irag):

In other news to brighten everyone's day, (and I'm probably gonna get tracked down and owned for saying this here),

0700 hours after deployment, encountered 2 IEDs 22 miles south of objective. alpha got his entire left leg burned, and I got 2 shrapnels lodged in my tibia. Trekked 42 miles after in hot to RP before finally getting helivaced. In the process I got a slug that entered my right armpit, and exited 1.5 inches off my spine, shearing the rear of my right lung in the process.

Overall, a ....... ....ty day in the "office". Arrived at Singapore 0400 local time today, and will probably be there for months for treatment and rehab. Can't wait to fly back home. Surgery in 02 hours to mend my lung and remove remnant shrapnels from my tibia. In the mean time guess who is not allowed to vape? ME.

In time mean time, you kids behave yourself or I shall be forced to. Um. I dunno. Enforce some discipline in here....? :D

As jrenae stated he has now convinced the nurses to let him vape while in the hospital in Singapore and I believe is beginning his physical therapy soon. He would be my nominee also.

That's awesome guys! Unfortunately my hero is not with us anymore. He served in Vietnam. His name is Master Sergeant Roy Benavidez. Google his story. It really is just amazing what he did. Medal of Honor, 5 Purple Hearts, and a total of 37 bullet, bayonet and shrapnel wounds. They thought he was dead when they found him. In a nutshell a 12 man Special Forces team were surrounded by a battalion of NVA. He boarded a helicopter with only a knife and medical supplies and saved 8 of the 12 man team.

Dunno if I can do this but oh well. This is his Medal of Honor speach.
