Here’s a story of heroism from the Las Vegas massacre – and there were many – that you might not have heard details about yet.
A haunting image seen around the world from the horror that night showed a man shielding a woman lying on the ground, comforting her as chaos reigned around them. He even reportedly tried to cover her eyes so she couldn’t see the people around them being shot.

It is at once a saddening image of a rightfully terrified woman and an inspiring image of a man willing to sacrifice himself to protect her.
The pair pictured in the photo have since been identified.

To nobody’s surprise, it turns out he is a member of our nation’s military. Matthew Cobos, the man in the image, is a cavalry scout with the US Army.

Cobos’ act of bravery did not stop with this image. Moments after it was taken, the pair managed to get to their feet and run to safety behind a nearby car.
After getting the woman to safety, Cobos then returned to the scene of the shooting where he told friends and family that he could see bullets ricocheting off the ground in front of him as he was running.
Matthew Cobos – a hero, a tribute to the US Army, a great kid! 🇺🇸

He reportedly continued to rescue and aid the injured, using his belt as a tourniquet and plugging other people’s bullet wounds with his own fingers.

Cobos’ bravery and calm amidst a sea of carnage is not only an example of incredible military training for such situations, it is a testament to the human spirit, a demonstration of strength and bravery in the face of death.
God bless, Mr. Cobos and all those involved in the Las Vegas shooting.
Honor Cobos’ brave acts of heroism by sharing his story!

As a vet we have that built in protection mechanism that automatically kicks in because it has been so well engrained into our brains we don’t even think we just react. My wife is constantly complaining about me being so nervous when we go to a shopping centre because I am always looking for danger even though it may not be there. I have a bad back but it wouldn’t matter if an emergency arose because through my training the adrenalin kicks in as do your senses and you do what you have to do and worry about how you feel later. We were taught to protect our fellow man and that will never change!
this is ONE reason we stand for the anthem!
Here’s an article that explains what the shooting was all about so it seems.

Make NO mistake, the psycho that committed this heinous act is a leftist liberal with an agenda. This venue, country and western music, was not a random choice. The leftist media and liberal Democrats are complacent in this attack. Thank God we have these kind of men, who will step up to fight this kind of evil…

I sure am glad that the full story is out with the photo. CNN would have reported that the Marines raped panicked women at concert shooting.
real men don’t abuse women, they protect them!!!
God bless him. This is what a true brave man is all about protecting and helping others. <3
I dont know what to say. He provided what they needed with total commitment to the safety of the people around him
“The Oath” is never taken lightly…!
Hopefully, his senior officer will award him the Soldier’s Medal for heroism beyond the call of duty not involving combat.
