Through my tears I say thank your for this post and thank God for these young men and women. I wish I could hug every one of them. But since I can't I pray for them and their families every day.

They have no more met a hero than I have met a movie star.
Who does our “esteemed” media want us to hail as “heroes”?
The ball player who was brave enough to actually show up for work.
The person who died from an attack. A “hero” only because he died.
Anyone who is employed as a fireman or police officer. Not because of any act of bravery, but just because of their chosen employment.
The reporter who chooses to cover a story in a war zone. No heroic action is necessary - just being there qualifies.
I worry more about the headspace-and-time on a M2 .50 cal machine gun.
A note to pass on to the young men in Afghanistan and Iraq:
When you screw in the barrel, just run it all the way in and back it out two clicks. It’ll work just fine.
