I am 0.02 points (out of 100) from advancing a rank in steel challenge. I had one malfunction last week which probably made the difference.

I'll pick one at random.

Charles Gene Abrell. Korean War.

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as a fire team leader in Company E, in action against enemy aggressor forces. While advancing with his platoon in an attack against well-concealed and heavily fortified enemy hill positions, Cpl. Abrell voluntarily rushed forward through the assaulting squad which was pinned down by a hail of intense and accurate automatic-weapons fire from a hostile bunker situated on commanding ground. Although previously wounded by enemy hand-grenade fragments, he proceeded to carry out a bold, singlehanded attack against the bunker, exhorting his comrades to follow him. Sustaining two additional wounds as he stormed toward the emplacement, he resolutely pulled the pin from a grenade clutched in his hand and hurled himself bodily into the bunker with the live missile still in his grasp. Fatally wounded in the resulting explosion which killed the entire enemy gun crew within the stronghold, Cpl. Abrell, by his valiant spirit of self-sacrifice in the face of certain death, served to inspire all his comrades and contributed directly to the success of his platoon in attaining its objective. His superb courage and heroic initiative sustain and enhance the highest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life for his country.

It's a beautiful day and my motorcycle starter solenoid decides to die. I'm legit mad that I don't have a kick starter. Thankfully the solenoid is pretty easy to fix.

@alex trying to make a regex to validate email addresses is usually a bad idea. Email addresses are weird.

After having a motorcycle for a few months now I cannot imagine buying a sports car. I don't think a sports car could ever be as fun as a bike.

The chief of the US Army Air Corp during WW2, Henry H. Arnold, learned to fly at the first flight school established by the Wright brothers. His training aircraft was a Wright Model B.
