He wrote that if he died, people shouldn't say he died for his ideals, but that they should say he LIVED FOR his ideals...and just happened to be killed while acting on them.

Thank you for post this. It is reflected in the eyes of HEROES.

Your post pushed me to check the USAF Academy website. I believe the fellow I was talking
about was Captain Lance Sijan, the first (and only?) USAF Academy graduate to have won
a Medal of Honor. I think one of the dormitory halls at the Academy bears his name.
