John, this is quite a task to put the spotlight on these heroic individuals. But as we look at this war, whatever you want to call it, there is a group of characters, yes, *real* characters need to be recognized. Yes, Military and Civilian, who will never have the chance for such an honor as this, but they are the real heroes. Ironically, after they die in the field, the only honor they receive is a *"nameless star on a cold white marble wall"*

John, as I having been reading the whole series, there has been something in my soul, with the command, "QUIET!" I am humbled by such men. Thank you, Sir.

What is sad about this is that hardly anyone knows about the courageous actions of our Soldiers, Marines, Seals and other fighters.  For some reason military heroism is out of style and never mentioned on the news -- including the self-proclaimed 'fair and balanced' people.
