Meanwhile, how often does someone show courage like Tyler, especially one so young? That is something that doesn't happen everyday, yet it gets lost in all the other nonsense.
Definitely not as young as Tyler here, but don't forget what a bunch of 18 and 19 year old kids are doing every day in Afghanistan. They're sacrifice is largely forgotten and ignored by a jaded and preoccupied public as well. They're courage is much more common than you think. The problem is that a bulk of the courage in our society belongs to a small group of people who the public would rather forget about except on the occasional holiday or for 5 minutes after a movie comes out.
The real irony though is those same brave men and women that serve and sacrifice for our country everyday do, so that the majority of the population CAN forget and even be oblivious about the dangers threatening their shallow daily lives.
