All the same, there is some incredible amazing Americans in that link of yours....

.....What makes Douglas my hero is that when he enlisted in the Marines, he was 50 years old, which means that when he was wounded in combat on Okinawa, he was 52.

...And to make this new unit absolutely bipartisan, the White House could call it the Henry Cabot Lodge-Paul Douglas Brigade, to give appropriate recognition to the late Republican from Massachusetts, who actually resigned from the U.S. Senate to fight Hitler's armies in North Africa as a tank commander. How's that for an example for 2002 on Capitol Hill?

You still have one hell of a country when you can draw on guys like those for inspiration.
