Semper Fi.
Like the stories told of the island campaigns in the Pacific during WWII. One island in particular, I can't remember which at the moment though Iwo or the Canal seem likely candidates, had many more deaths/injuries from marines jumping on grenades to save others in their foxholes.

I believe it was at Iwo Jima where some officer said that uncommon valor was a common trait shared by all.

God bless these men who fight evil forces. There is no greater calling in life than fighting for good, no damnation worse than helping evil prosper.
