Sometimes the word Hero.. really does apply
http://gma.yahoo.com/blogs/abc-blogs/former-marine-brutally-beaten-while-saving-teen-says-142639150--abc-news-topstories.html?vp=1A former marine who was brutally beaten while trying to save a teen who was being bullied said it was all in the line of duty and said he would do it again if duty calls.
"You know doing the right thing is always the right thing," said Wen Jones, 43.
Jones is speaking out for the first time about the brutal beat-down caught on camera back in May.
Jones' instinct to protect kicked into overdrive when he stumbled upon three men bullying 14-year-old Zion Wright on Florida's Juno Beach.
