Wow, amazing story, so thankful for all service men and women

Congrats to Kyle!! Well deserved.

NBC News reported that he went to college at North Carolina. :-[

We should try to get this guy involved during our Military tribute game. He still lives and works in Charlotte. Would probably receive a standing ovation.

We now have a living Medal of Honor Hero to recognize on many more occasions.

Our University has a great military history and we should do much more to celebrate it.

I hope he is recognized at homecoming.

We salute you fellow Niner!

First off, no matter where one goes to school, winning the Medal of Honor is an incredible thing. We all owe him a great deal of gratitude for his service.

Second, while it doesn’t matter where one goes, I’m very proud that he’s a Niner. He’s a fantastic representative of our University.

Third, I agree that he should be recognized for what he has accomplished.

Fourth, thanks to any others on here who serve/served. We owe you all a lot of thanks.

Agree, and this is an excellent opportunity.

This made the local news around here as well. What a super guy.

Thanks for your service.
