My Dad would tell the occasional anecdote, allude to something that happened, referring to his service in WWII. He'd been awarded the Bronze Star with two battle stars during the war -- once he showed me the medal when I was a child -- but I only learned what had done to receive that award for heroism after his death.
While under enemy fire -- which included two machine pistols -- he went after his wounded sergeant, gave him first aid, & brought him back to safety.
True heroes never boast.
There's nothing here!
