It is really easy to talk tough and be strong when you are hiding in the weeds behind the lines. It is another thing altogether to stand up when you are on the front lines and you are pinning on the target. True courage is a mighty rare thing at any given time, and I honestly feel your guy is one of those rare examples.

He's risking a lot on a personal level and I hope he realizes that some of us recognize and celebrate him for that.
