Meet The Army Veteran That Was Shot Several Times Saving Others In The Oregon School Shooting
Yesterday’s massacre at Umpqua Community College was another act of senseless violence and I’m not going to give the coward that murdered nine of his peers any more recognition than he’s already received. He shall remain nameless. Instead, we’re bringing attention to a guy who swiftly and selflessly acted to protect his fellow classmates, took multiple gunshot wounds for his efforts, but walked away with his life and saved countless others.
Meet Chris Mintz, a 30-year-old Army veteran who blocked the door and held off the gunman allowing several people to escape before being peppered multiple times in the back, stomach, hands and legs.
Even in moments of tragedy, there always seems to be someone who heroically steps up and answers the call to duty. Here, Mintz was able to react fast, despite having to drag his balls of steel along the ground, and prevented further bloodshed.
Here’s to you, Chris Mintz. You’re a damn fine American. .

Chris is a wonderful person and a real hero. I have his address and I will be sending him a package. I know there is a GoFundMe account, but I thought it would be cool if we could send him something. I will contact Dan and see if he can assist me with this. Would any of you be willing to give shirts, shot glasses, cards, etc? Please let me know. Thank you.
