Blaine, thats my point exactly. if your just doing your job why be recognized? I got my own ribbon/medal bar in some box in this house. just doing your job and you get rewarded. whats the differance if a pilot saves 155 people and gets called a hero?


Doing your job well does often does deserve some kind of recognition. But people today are too quick to call anything that's more than they can see themselves doing as heroic. It is really a sad reflection on how far standards have dropped in this country............
