He was honored by President Bush with the second-highest award in the military, but Sgt. Christopher Corriveau does not feel like a hero.

CBS' David Martin reports that after his sniper team was ambushed and outnumbered 10 to one, Corriveau fought his way out. But his two best friends did not make it..

"They were some of the best friends I've ever had," he said. "I almost wanted to die on that roof that day with my brothers."

Corriveau's unit returns to Iraq this fall, but he will be staying in the US to attend college.

This video is from CBS's Evening News, broadcast May 22, 2008.
