I have been seeing stories about many heroic actions done by our brothers and sisters in the military.

One that never has left my mind after all these years was the attack that brought two Black Hawks down in Somalia. The men fought until the end, and one officer was taken prisoner. Two of the members received the Medal of Honor.

Another was the medic in WWII who kept going back into the battle to save over thirty men. He kept praying “Just one More Lord.”

Yes, there were times that there have been heroic actions in the private sector, but not where their own lives were in such danger.
