Definitely a "there-but-for-the-Grace-of-God" moment.
I pray He continues to strengthen these men and their families. They have shown such dignity and courage.

I work with many entry-level 20-year-olds in my profession. They come from privileged backgrounds and Ivy League schools. Yet few can even express themselves coherently, verbally or on paper.

Then I see young enlisted men and women, interviewed on TV. Their heads are on straight and they express themselves straightforwardly and with good humor.

Wish I was in a line of work that attracted a better class of person!
