You are too kind, really. Audie Murphy was a hero, and so was Sergeant York, and I feel that calling ALL of us vets heroes, diminishes those men.

Exactly.

I agree.

My Dad is a veteran. He was the “Radar O’Reiley” of his unit (supply sergeant). Must have been a good one because I remember as a kid we couldn’t go anywhere without one of his “customers” coming up to him and thanking him.

But he was a supply sergeant, not a combat soldier. He doesn’t attended veterans events because he doesn’t seem himself as a hero, but just as a guy who did his job.

Patton was a hero, Jimmy Stewart too. And we need more like you and their kind.

Ooh rah from a devil dog dad.
