Throwing yourself on a grenade to save the lives of others is not the act of a great warrior, necessarily. The people honored in this thread were great human beings. They, in a split second decision, gave their lives to save others.
They were great people, not great warriors (though I'm certain they fought valiantly).
They ended up dieing for their country, but really they died to save their friends. Anyone can become a soldier, but when the shit hit the fan, these guys made the supreme sacrifice, for their buddies.
They're an inspiration to me, to act more selfless, toward my friends, and everyone else around me.
