Flags Of Our Fathers 2006

... ... But I can't take them calling me a hero

All I did was try not to get shot

Some of the things I saw done

things I did , they weren't things to be proud of, you know? ... ...

The papers said he died of exposure... ...

... ...I finally came to the conclusion that maybe he was right.

Maybe there's no such thing as heroes.

Maybe there are just people like my dad.

I finally came to understand

why they were so uncomfortable being called heroes.

Heroes are something we create, something we need.

It's a way for us to understand what is almost incomprehensible,

how people could sacrifice so much for us.
