Three cheers for MSNBC. Yes, that’s right, I said three cheers for MSNBC, the home of Matthews, Tucker, Imus and Olberman.

Someone over there has decided that the American people might find satisfaction watching stories of the outstanding courage, bravery and valour of the men and women in our armed services.

John Noonan at the outstanding milblog Op-For has the news,

Faces of Courage

MSNBC has decided to run a series of 60 second vignettes honoring America’s military heroes, appropriately titled Faces of Courage. The first bit, dedicated to Medal of Honor recipient Paul Ray Smith, will be shown on MSNBC in the coming days.

Op-For also has the first installment right here.

After watching this, a few thoughts came to mind. First, was that so damn hard? Where has the MSM been all these YEARS!

Second, thank you to Matt Burden for starting Someone You Should Know on Blackfive several years ago. And a double thanks to Matt for sacrificing time out of his busy life, from his work and familiy commitments to bring this inspiring series to Pundit Review Radio every Sunday evening at 9pm EST.

John at Op-For and Matt from Blackfive are urging readers to send a word of thanks for the suits at MSNBC who have made this decision. Let them know we appreciate it by emailing them at heroes@msnbc.com.
