Someone You Should Know: Spc. Micheaux Sanders

Bruce McQuain from QandO joined us tonight for another edition of Someone You Should Know. This week, he told us the story of Spc. Micheaux Sanders,

Sanders said he did his best, standing exposed to the enemy in one of the tank’s hatches and firing whatever he or his fellow crewmembers could find. A round struck Sanders in the arm, slicing straight through his shoulder and out the other side, but he says he barely noticed, waving off the medics who tried to come to his aid.

When the bullets ran out, Sanders still wouldn’t give up. “I threw whatever I had at them,” he said. “When we ran out of bullets, I threw rocks.”

Sanders was awarded the Silver Star when the 1st Armored Division was welcomed home to Germany in October.

The Someone You Should Know radio collaboration began as an extension of Matt Burden’s series at Blackfive. Thanks to Matt, Bruce is now on board and we are lucky to have him as part of the show. All of our interviews are also available for download at iTunes and Podcast Alley via the Pundit Review Radio Podcast.
