I walked point for the Fifth Marines in Viet Nam and I can't tell you how many people it took to keep me alive over the years. From the chopper pilots to the supply clerks to the Fly Boys(air support) to the Dogfaces(artillery), to the Corpsmen who saved my life. They were all my heroes. I may have the medals but I wouldn't have them without the support of many, many, many people. In the eyes of freedom and God we are all heroes! For without us all there is no freedom and without freedom there are no heroes! Semper Fi

some things that I have done that make me feel real proud was to help a few guys that I became friends with in the late 70s, 80's and until even now get rid of, with the help of our Lord,(my Buddist wife hates it when I talk like that) the, lets just call them demons for lack of a better word, that have been haunting them since the fight they were in, a lot of them are still living in places like Thailand, and some are still(or were) officially MIA. What a hero really is , is a person who does things for others with out thinking of themself first
