They should always be in the back of your mind and with every decision you should be able to say “What I’m doing follows these values.” Kyle Jerome White was born in Seattle, Washington in 1987.

White knew that if he passed out the helicopters wouldn 't be able to find them and Schilling and injured ANA soldiers could die.

This is the type of soldier you should strive to be and to guide. “It’s just a matter of time before I’m dead. I figured, if that’s going to happen, I might as well help someone while I can.” Sergeant Kyle J. White, Medal of Honor
