America is full of heroes, no matter where they come from--love this song--that is why I ride Patriot Guard to honor all that have served. As a Nam vet we will never forget the ones that have served for us.
Simply serving in the military or meaning something to some one doesn't make you a hero. A hero is someone like MSG Gary Gordon or SFC Randy Shughart who volunteered to repel down to a downed Blackhawk helicopter knowing full well that they were on their own. They then died fighting to defend the wounded crew member of that helicopter from Somali militiamen. These two men are heroes. Saying all soldiers are heroes cheapens the meaning of the word. Doing one's job doesn't make you a hero.
Well, if you folks want to compare a guy being deployed overseas to a true hero such as Audie Murphy, Alvin York, or those I mentioned before, be my guest. All I know is that I personally get uncomfortable when someone calls me a hero just because I served overseas. I was just a soldier doing my duty like many before me in my family. I am not some hero to be worshiped or placed on a pedestal. Respect soldiers, honor their service and sacrifices, but don't insult us. SGT/19K/ MN ARNG

Why did he pick the guy who didn't die in combat compared to the two who died in Fallujah and Ramadi?
