Meet Patrick Jordan
Six years ago, he had been kicked out of two high schools. Today
he's a hero.
With bullets and rocket-propelled grenades zinging around him, Patrick Jordan, 24, helped rescue 20 soldiers pinned down in a Baghdad alley last spring and then, by thinking fast, saved six soldiers after their Humvee broke down under heavy fire.
"I might've got the Silver Star, but we're all heroes," said Jordan, who has since been promoted to staff sergeant.
"Everyone who served. They're all heroes. No matter what war they fought in or if it was peacetime. They took time out of their lives to serve. Not everybody does that."
