OT - Tribute to a hero

I was saddened when I heard the news earlier today. Truly, an American hero. Unfortunately, in about 6 months, some made for tv bio-pic will come out that won't do this man justice. But let's hear it for all of the soldiers over there!!

A study in sharp contasts...

A *man* who forgoes a multi-million dollar NFL contract to fight for his country

VS

A *kid* who goes Supreme Court justice shopping to find someone who will force the NFL to let him into the draft before he's legally old enough to do so.

To the former - a salute to a fallen hero

To the latter - GET A LIFE, KID!

I read about it elsewhere, and I'm still stunned. Managed to get a different quote for my sig 'tho -- little long.

just wondering, why EXACTLY do you consider this man a "hero" ?

I for one define "hero" by other words/abilities/things
