Answer - they're everywhere. In the uniform of the Anglosphere militaries. And police services, fire services, and paramedics. Everywhere people put themselves between danger and the population. Other nations have them too - but here at Castle Argghhh, we recognize we can't recognize everybody. Feel free to send your own nominations - like the Canadian Contingent here at the Castle does!
