GOOD MORNING AMERICA’S HOMEPAGE:
https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/
God Bless Mr. Shurer and his family.. such a tragedy for him to die so young at 41 yrs. What a great man and his great achievements.. he certainly deserved the Medal Of Honor.
Thank you for my freedom. Rest in peace.
"Heroes never die" Goodbye Staff Sgt. Ronald J. Shurer.
Rest in Peace.
I write this comment out of tremendous respect for unfortunately now deceased SSG Ronald J. Shurer II, a soldier, a son, a husband and a father taken from his family, friends and country far too soon but one whose memory shall live on in all Medal of Honor recipients and all those who answer the call to service and duty and whom wear the sacred cloth of our U.S. military! As we recall that fateful day in 2008 some 12 years ago we recall a soldier who despite overwhelming enemy fire fought with outstanding honor, courage, bravery, gallantry and valor to help tend to the soldiers whose lives he helped save as a senior medical sergeant! SSG Shurer sir you did your country proud both in service to our U.S. Army and the Secret Service, Rest In Peace sir, I salute you!
RIP thank you for your service!
Rest In Peace Ron
You dedicated yourself in saving lives… May Angels be with you Eternally ❤️
RIP, SSG Shurer
Surviving all of that, just to be taken by cancer.. So sad. Rest Easy brother
Rest easy, brother 🙏🏼

My mom attended the Medal of Honor Ceremony. You can see her in camera, she’s the Sergeant First Class with a bun while the camera is zooming in. My mom is now a Second Lieutenant in the Army.
A true hero. Please pray for Ronald while he fights another battle, Lung Cancer. I've never met ronald but I humbly ask everyone to send their love to him and his family.

That chaplain sux
This is crazy this is my friends dad my friend is Cameron shurer his son
Who would dislike this?
This guy shows up to receive the nations highest award presented to service members while in uniform and couldn't even shave. What a complete douche bag.
Do you know that the last COPPER COLORED ABORIGINAL, NEGRO, to received this same Medal, THE CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR was for THE VIETNAM WAR?!! WHY??!! Why have there been one Negro given this Honor since the VIETNAM WAR??!! I will tell you why this is, BECAUSE THE 900 WHITE SUPREMACY HATE GROUPS that are currently ACTIVE in AmeriKKKa, not only serve as our POLICE OFFICERS 👮♀️ but they are also the higher ups that decide who gets the honors in the AmeriKKKa MILITARY. That’s why NO NEGRO has gotten a CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR, since THE VIETNAM WAR! 😐
It's awesome to have a president who truly loves the military and our first responders. They are the best of us.
Shurer hopes he beats the cancer.
He needs 20k a month for life.
Get well soon hero.
Thank you for your service
