Saluting an American hero

The pages of this newspaper and website are filled every day with ugly stories.

Not this one.

Make sure you read about the retired Marine sergeant from Haverford who tonight will be honored as the American Hero of the Year.

Sgt. Jason Simms served in Delta Company, Third Platoon, 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion. During a battle in Iraq in 2004, he suffered burns on his face and hands, and was shot three times during an attack on his unit.

We'll gladly add our salute. So should you.
