We could not be represented better than by my niece’s husband who is a current member of an elite special forces team. He is not alone by any means. He brings home service medals for bravery, and we never even know where he has been sent or what he did. My two grandsons are sterling young men as well.
With that said, the saga of the Johnston, its captain and its men, was one of our most heroic episodes.
