What makes a hero? I have been lucky enough to spend time with two who wear the Medal of Honor. Sammy Davis and Melvin Morris, both heroes of the Vietnam War. Sammy is in this video and yes, he is that humble in real life. I've met hundreds of other heroes who do not see themselves as anything special and spent my life with others. My Dad and uncles were all in the service and so was my husband. They do not seem themselves as heroes but see it in others.
"For the men and women taking part in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, each day brings the possibility for tragedy or victory, death or heroism. They are not mutually exclusive, and often a single instant produces them all. These themes run through the pages of the ninth edition of Stars and Stripes' annual Heroes special section. These tales of valor, courage and compassion tell the story of a nation at war."
