What do you think courage means?

What do you think courage means? I think courage means many things depending on the situation. One of them is taking the chance to sacrifice your life for the sake of others. Today our young men and women join the military on their own, not drafted. They do this knowing the turmoil we have in our world today, and that their chances of being right in the middle of it are great. These courageous young people want to make a difference and know that it will take many people to do it. Sacrificing time with their families and with everyday life, so that we can all be free and safe here in the United States. As we see on the news daily, so many of our service members are being killed in roadside bombs and terrorist attacks, yet that does not stop them from enlisting. This is courage putting your life in harm’s way for the sake of our country and all who live in it.
