My dad, all four uncles, were all combat vets of WWII, and all their friends were as well.
IT was just the way things were.
To them, heroism was an honor not always bestowed. Most true heros were very reluctant to be designated such. Rather, they saw their acclaimed heroism as their duty, which they were obligated to perform.
Todays use of the term 'hero' as with the issuance of the beret to all, simply diminishes the original value of each.And that is a real shame!
