They say you die twice, first when you get laid to rest in the ground, then a second time when yore name is spoken for the last time.

Here is a great collection of Vets, normal people who did extraordinary things for this country.

Read their stories, say their names. This John Wayne post made me think of this VETS archive.

Back about 1998, I was hiring instructors for the computer class in college.
A genuine hero applied and I was sad that his language skills were so poor.
He was a Navajo "Code Talker" and a senior citizen, but still, the ability
to speak clearly was not there. I have a bit of Cherokee in my family line
and I did want to hire him. But sadly, I did not. Next time perhaps.
