What does the word courage mean to you?

Doing what's right no matter who's looking

Courage means the ability to face an event(s) where risk is above human norm and all the while knowing it can lead to fantastic results or adverse consequences.

Everyone’s definition of courage is different. Some might say “it’s the ability to face a dangerous situation with bravery or valor” especially in a battle. But courage is not always physical, it has many characteristics. As for me, courage is facing the unknown with my head held high. I was diagnosed with MS in January 2022. I will judge the situation, accept my emotions, and confront my fears of what’s to come.

It means, risking yourself for a cause that you know is right our valuable regardless of the real or perceived danger of doing so

It means they way we were trained to run to the fire(gunfire), not like those officers in uvalde that let those children die the way they did.

The popular thing isn’t always thr right thing. I believe that courage is standing up for what is right in the face of adversity.

Courage is the total commitment of your everything. When serving in Korea our response to an officers salute, was Philsong! Total commitment, I served in Afghanistan with Special Operations, TSgt John Chapman, was a teammate, after fighting at 10K ft fighting and incredible battle, a helicopter approached an ambush site and the enemy was waiting. John could have stayed under cover, he could have engaged the enemy from safety. He knew the only way to ensure the QRF was not shot out of the sky was to move from cover and ensure he occupied the RPG shooters. John died from triangulated fire but for the 18 men on the helo, he gave his last final measure! Courage is a selfless commitment to the person to the left and right for us! Philsong!
