                <![CDATA[I&nbsp;only wish that there were something to say after reading these that could actually convey my feelings or add meaning to the moment.&nbsp; In fact, I often find myself sitting--sometimes near tears--in awed amazement mixed with no small amount of unvarnished envy.&nbsp; Envy NOT because I would want to have to do what any of these people did, or because I am so vapid as to think any of them would have wanted to be there, but rather because I&nbsp;have no idea if I would be able to step up to their standard--and my 'small voice' is afraid that I would fail the test.<br />
<br />
Would I&nbsp;go down with the ship, would I turn toward the grenade or try to dodge, woud I actually try to take as many of the bastards with me as I could? &nbsp;I don't know.&nbsp; I&nbsp;don't really want to, to be sure, but I would like to know if I could do what Chaplain Watters did. &nbsp;I&nbsp;think not, sadly.&nbsp; &nbsp; And he is one those people for whom there should be something a little bigger than the MoH, eh? Maybe with a halo on it or wings or something--no joke intended....<br />
