[Proud of the heroes]

The young men are obviously found in the United States of America. I read articles like this and hear heroic tales like that of the rescue of the POW, Jessica Lynch, and it makes me so proud of all of the men and women who are risking their lives fighting for the freedom of an oppressed people. I am a Canadian. Unfortunately we are not assisting in this cause, but this does not mean that some of us cannot be proud of all of those who are serving their country. You are all amazing people.

Thanks for your post, and welcome to FR!

[Proud of the heroes]

It does not matter that the article about Martin Savidge was apparently non-existent...the basic idea is still the same. It showed how many people are proud to be American and proud of their troops. I am certain that while it may not have happened on national televison, the selflessness, loyalty and courage of all of the troops is there nonetheless. This one particular article was a myth, their strength and heroism is NOT!
