Proud to be British

Today, because of Lance Corporal Matt Croucher, I am proud to be British.

While on patrol in Helmand Province he threw himself on top of a live grenade to protect the other members of his unit. Remarkably he survived and yesterday was awarded the George Cross for outstanding bravery.
