copyed and pasted from the web,
Victoria Cross awarded for first time in 20 years
LONDON (Reuters) - An armoured vehicle driver who twice drove out of ambushes under fire in Iraq will become the first recipient of Britain's top military honour in more than 20 years, the Ministry of Defence says.

Private Johnson Beharry of the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment will be the first person to receive the Victoria Cross since 1982 and the first living recipient since 1965.

He was cited for "valour of the highest order" after he drove out of an ambush of rocket-propelled grenades and extracted his wounded colleagues from the vehicle while under fire in May 2004.

Six weeks later his vehicle was again attacked by rockets. His commander and other troops were incapacitated and he was seriously wounded in the head, but he kept driving to safety until he lost consciousness, the ministry said in a statement.

what say we invite him to the next bash, we don't know him he might be a total arse (we have worked with them before)but I will stand his room and I bet he won't have to buy a drink all night, any thoughts lads??
