    **“It’s nobody’s fault,” she said. “Doug chose this path. He died doing what he loved, and he made a difference. And that’s what matters.”**

    The thing I love about this story is that nobody is really hunting for recognition or reward. One's perseverance and clear sense of duty seems to be the main theme, and I'm inspired by how immersed this man was in his military job.
    Faith can move mountains, but don't forget to bring your shovel.

    I have new respect for you SL. I don't think anybody who joins and does their job is looking for anything. It's what we do as Americans, my foreman me and the crew were talking awhile back about being in the military. Everybody had served but one guy, he asked why.
    He said, "I didn't see the need", to which my foreman said "You're a $#@!ing American, aren't you"?
