"To me, the real heroes are those who have given their lives for our nation, the soldiers who risked their lives to rescue me, the professionals who served in the military medical department - they perform miracles every day to save lives. To me, these are heroes."

Quote from Jessica Lynch found at the bottom of this article.

I read that quote. I'm glad she's giving credit where it's due. However, I also read this quote, which is exactly the quote I reacted to.

"They used me as a way to symbolize all this stuff," Lynch said in an interview with Diane Sawyer that airs Tuesday, Veterans Day.

"Yeah, it's wrong," Lynch said. "I don't know why they filmed it, or why they say the things" they said.

Now, if she has been misquoted, or if the media truly twisted her words out of context, then I'll apologize. But I'm assuming the quote is correct, and I don't like it one bit.
