It is the Knight in shining armor who receives the accolades. Yet, without the armor, a sword could easily pierce his heart. Tales are told about the power of his sword, yet it is not he who sharpens it. The horse gets little credit, but it is the horse which carries the Knight into battle.

We all worked as a team there, and thanks to that teamwork, many survived who may not. I could not have done anything had I been paralized by hunger. My body remained fit to fight because our medics took care of me. I did not have to worry about having sufficient ammunition, or clothing, or weapons, or repair parts because someone unsung was doing their part of the mission. Many without the recognition due. I was on the leading, cutting edge, but the real power was the mass behind my edge. Without the support they provided I was nothing more than a GI stumbling around the wilds, blind, and incapacitated. They may not have been there beside me, but they were there.
