Thank you for sharing this story. A similar thing was said to me by a drill sergeant of mine in basic training. SFC Brent Critchfield wore a black metal memorial bracelet for a good and decent man who died in Mogadishu trying to save his battle buddies. Death doesn't make a true hero, but true heroes often don't come home alive. As a soldier, I believe that the greater freedom of my country is more important than the lives of myself or my fellow soldiers. But it still breaks my heart to hear about the loss of good men in defense of our freedom. Stories like this really bring that to the surface.
