Thanks for the link.
Youngblood - I'm with 100% on your comment. National Politics seldom have anything to do with with an individuals act of bravery or personal sacrifice.

Presenting one self to the arena of potential harm may, either through by being a "patriot' or a "Draftee" seldom had anything to do with an individual heroic act.

Usually it was because of circumstances due to the direct threat of harm to your buddys' and a sense of Duty to them.

Good for Germanyicon in honoring herosim on the part of their Military.!
