Quote DMZ-LT: "We are not hero's Taylor , the hero's are on the Wall" and we will never forget them. Speaking for myself each and every time I heard any firepower being used incoming or outgoing I was scared. I certainly wasn't a hero but my country needed me and I was proud and honored that they thought enough of me to think that I might be of use to them. I made it back.
When I came back I spent time in a hospital where heroes that went into the gap, came back less than whole and they did that for me and you willingly. Recently I've had opportunities to go to the Veterans Hospital and every time I do I see heroes less than whole physically and mentally but greater by far than those that sit on their fanny criticizing and condemning what those men and women fought for.
Have you read "The Things They Carried?"
