Ten years ago Army Private Mitch Hunter performed a heroic act with bitter sweet results. He saved a woman’s life during a car accident by pushing a live wire off the woman. Sadly, the ending wasn’t a happy one for him. Hunter was left severely disfigured and the formerly handsome young man now lives with a severely scarred face, a prosthetic nose and leg. Hunter’s story is about to be re-written and the brave soldier just might get his happy ending after all. He has received approval for a face transplant by the Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

While most all Izismile posts are " Really funny stuff", it would be good if there was a different heading available, to be used with some of the great stories like this which don't really fit as "Really funny stuff"..
#5) I must admit - we failed to bring democracy and freedom for people who live in North Carolina. Shame on us for our cowardice. We're only brave enough to shoot afghans. But seriously , we may be not proud of our involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq but we're doing our job and we are supporting Your interest. So stop spitting on others - because only one thing really matters - Mitch Hunter is a hero: he saved a life.
Oh, and Michael C, you're an idiot.
I am surprised that he had to wait for 10 yrs. for surgery.
