Brave?
IF it were ME on the roof; I’d be scared $h——$$!!
But I’d PROTECT what was valuable to me and my family.

Being brave means being scared sh!tless but still doing your duty. They aren't mutually exclusive.

Nobody said we weren’t scared - we absolutely were. But it was safer there than anywhere else nearby as long as we did our part and we knew it. Ten or twenty rifles against a mob is a much better bet than trying it alone.
It did help that the opposition wasn’t generally that bright or heavily armed.
