Mr. Ryan -

I thank God for hero's - those boys and gals go out on the limb many loosing their lives and yet they do it instinctively without reservation. Those are special folks. Saving the life of another is special. I'm not going there but I can relate a little on that.

Anyway yes there will be more - there will always be more of those "hero's". In each human there is something that takes you outside the box and something that puts everything in slow motion. You can see the bullets and you can dodge them time goes real slow. It's amazing how many are living and yet more dreadful how many have been lost.

Our humanity is within us all - some quicker than others - some take a little longer to engage - but each of us is special and each of us loves our fellow man - and sometimes it takes giving your life to show it.
