[In case you don't know, Martine, Kyle Carpenter placed his body between a live grenaded thwon by the enemy and his mate beside him absorbing the blast with his own body. He received the United States' highest military honor, the Medal of Honor - he knows a thing or two about finding the right attitude.]
