...Heroes jump on top of grenades to save their friends and heroes run into burning buildings and towards the sound of gunfire to save strangers. That being said, there's something heroic about anyone who volunteers to possibly give their life in service to their country, whether any or everybody else acknowledges or appreciated it.

Thank you for being one of those who does.
