Too dumb to be frightened.

Feeling proud right now, and need kleenex. Thank you.

Those willing to step into the breach. Aww.. A difficult concept for way too many now. The "Me too's, and just me's" are now the sad useless majority.

OH MY GOD!

This story just took my breath away! Blurry screen...goose bumps all over......

Thank you.

I find their actions to be completely predictable. I was astonished at my own actions as well as my comrades under similar circumstances. I think men and women rise to whatever situation they encounter.

I would have been proud to have known them.

My uncle was in an Army Air Corps medical unit stationed at Wheeler Field. When the attack came, he had just awakened in his barracks building--- "the biggest, whitest building on the base." He never commented on his actions that morning, but his unit received a citation for setting up two anti-aircraft positions on the roof of their building before the second wave hit.

After the raid was over, he was assigned the duty of identifying and toe-tagging the dead, including a cook whose badly-cut hand he had bandaged the day before.

Is that what is meant by " going viral"? How to keep the screen from getting blurry? We still have soldiers like them. Do not discount our youth.
