I get that. I see that same sentiment reflected in Coast Guardsmen, firefighters, and police officers. I dont know how many times I have read a story in the paper or watched the news on TV where a firefighter has just rescued someone and risked his life in the process only to turn around and say ..................................
"I was just doing my job."
I appreciate what you and the men and women of our armed services have done to safeguard our freedom. I would not be so quick to trivialize it tho. After all, not everyone can or will do what you have done.
So whether you like or not.......
THANKS!
