"This isn't daunting at all," he joked. "For a captain in the British army to be introduced by a world-renowned statesman is humbling and entirely terrifying."

He accepted the award, he said, on behalf of the "guys," the veterans of both countries, especially the wounded. He urged Americans and British to work together to help the wounded go back to civilian life with "purpose, hope and confidence".u00a0
