Just reading about James Shaw, the man who wrestled the gun away from Reinking. Without taking anything away from him, and with all admiration for the big brass ones Mr. Shaw obviously has, I would like - just once - for someone in his situation to say, 'Goddamed RIGHT I'm a hero! I charged a man with a gun who was shooting people. I took the gun away from him and undoubtedly saved lives. Fer chrissake, if that's not being a hero, what is??'

Real heroes don't blow their own horn much, from my experience. I worked with a CB that had the Medal of Honor and didn't know about it until we had to get in dress uniform for an inspection. A corpsman who defended the wounded at his aid station with his bare hands didn't tell his family he had the MOH until they were invited to the ceremony two years later.
