Duty and honor not just words

We see posers everyday who steal valor. Let's take a few minutes and remember those whose acts of honor off the battlefield impact us and make us stand a little taller.

story of a Marine that stood guard outside a12 yr old kids hospital room. The kid, Cody Green, was suffering from terminal cancer and his only wish in life was to become a Marine. So the Marine corps granted his wish, made him an honorary member, and presented him with a set of Marine Navigator wings. But for one Marine, that was not enough. The night before the child passed away, the Marine stood guard outside the young Honorary Marines door.

Soldiers are more than just men and women who have to defend this Country. God Bless them both.
