My Take
Randy Shughart's story stops me cold every time. During the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu, the events later known as Black Hawk Down, he and a fellow Delta Force operator volunteered to be inserted on the ground to defend a downed helicopter crew, fully aware the odds were against them. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for that sacrifice, dying at 35. I am no admirer of war itself, but the deliberate choice to give one's life to protect others demands the deepest respect. Shughart, from Lincoln, Nebraska, embodies a selflessness that deserves to be remembered.
