words from flags of fathers
I finally came to the conclusion that maybe he was right,maybe there's no such thing as heroes,maybe they are just people like my dad.I finally came to understand why they were so uncomfortable being called heroes.Heroes are something we creat,something we need.It's a way for us to understannd what is almost incomprehensible how people could scarifice so much for us.But for my dad and these men,the risks they took,the wounds they suffered,they did that for their buddies.They may have fought for their country,but they die for their friends,for the men in front,for the men beside them.And if we wish to truely honor these men,we should remember them the way they were,the way my dad remember them.
