On January 6th, those Capitol Policemen were heroes.

Except, they were defending the nation's Capitol, rather than an old church.

They were vastly outnumbered. There were not enough to hold back the angry mob that stormed the Capitol on that day. Still, they stood their ground. Many were injured and some died as a result of the battle.

It seems to me that their actions were "heroic", as the term has come to be known.

History is written by the victorious, not necessarily those that are the most honorable or most honest.

How will those Policemen, that defended the Capitol on that infamous day, be remembered?
