What did you learn with this action?: | I learned that these men were all fairly close to my age and had lives they wanted to live back home. They willingly sacrificed themselves so that we may now live freely and comfortably. I learned that these men deserve a lot more recognition than they get. |
What inspired you about this individual to do something in your life to make a difference?: | I was inspired by this man’s courage.
