An hero writes of another hero

Oliver North, a hero in his own right, tells the amazing story of Sgt. Rafael Peralta:



"Unfortunately, unlike Pablo Paredes, Sgt. Rafael Peralta will get little media coverage. He is unlikely to have books written about him or movies made about his extraordinarily selfless sacrifice. But he is likely to receive the Medal of Honor. And that Medal of Honor is likely to be displayed next to the only items that hung on his bedroom wall - the Constitution, Bill of Rights and his Boot Camp graduation certificate. "



In the last episode of Band of Brothers, a veteran tells how one time his grandson asked him if he was a hero in the war. He said he replied, "No, but I fought with a couple of heroes over there." (Note: The quote is not exact, but close)
