Everyone always remembers the Military...and rewards them with gongs etc...which of course is great.
It's just a shame, that people who do dangerous Jobs in Civilian life, never get the same acknowledgement.
You don't have to don a uniform, to serve your country...or indeed your fellow man.
I say we should congratulate all the unsung heroes in our society too....such as the Police Force...the Paramedics, and the Fire Officers.
And all the great minds...whose jobs are not so dangerous...but every bit as important.
The Surgeons, The Scientists etc.......we rarely see them getting praised on forums.
There is more to being a hero...than picking up a gun...and we should never forget that
(sorry if that is a bit off topic...and it's not a dig at the Military....just worth bearing in mind)
