In response to: When I was young, I always wanted to be an American Hero, this past year I almost fulfilled that dream. A week before deployment my ex put me into a 12 week long coma. How should I feel now that my dreams been crushed? I HOPE GOD uses me. best wishes PVT. CRAIG
The person who fights on the field of battle for this country and its ideals are heros to this country.

Is a person who prepares to give his all for this country and is never deployed for what ever reason less than one who fires one shot. NO!
Does situation make the hero. NO!
Does situation cause some seen and others not. YES!
There are people in different situations that all fight for the American way in different degrees and are all heros. Some seen and some not! Some are file clerks, some are builders, some are painters,.....etc. Then there are those who serve this country quietly and in secret....never known. But still heros fighting for the American way! There is "HERO" and there is "GLORY". A person does not need to be glorified to be hero....just fighting for the American way in any situation.
You are.....Hero....by trying to fight for America the same as those who can. There are those who have been able to prove it more in the sight of men, but none less in the heart of the man himself. Now continue the fight in whatever situation life gives you.
We thank you for all that you have done, that you were prepared to do and that you will do in the future.
The American flag is made of fabric and the fabric is seen far and wide....but even the smallest stitch holds it together and is part of it.
Dreams change, but the heart remains the same.....American hero!
