American Overlook
. . . "Cobos did what he was trained to do – protect innocent Americans from terrorists like Paddock. As the murderer shot thousands of rounds of ammunition upon the crowd of 22,000 music lovers, he had little regard for human life.
"Cobos on the other hand still had hope. And as he shielded the young woman from the bullets, he kept her eyes covered. He didn’t want her to have nightmares from all the dead bodies and blood around them.
"Moments after the photo was taken, Cobos led the woman behind a nearby car where they sought protection from Paddock’s bullets.
"After rescuing the woman, Cobos then used his belt as a tourniquet to help curb the bleeding other victims had. Beyond that, he also used his fingers to block bullet holes and prevent bleeding. He was a true hero when duty called.
"Since the nightmarish country concert, Cobos has told his close relatives and friends that he heard bullets ricocheting off the ground. Paddock was aiming for him, but the Army soldier managed to evade the murderer’s bullets.
"As you can imagine, this image has stirred up a lot of emotions for people across the internet. Here were a few shared on MailOnline.
“To him and anyone else who showed bravery of the highest level that night, medals of honor should be given. And knowing Trump, I bet he will be happy to do it.”
“I only hope I would display the courage this man did – kudos!!!!!!!” . . .
