A hero is one who steps forward when asked and agrees to defend their nation. Those mentioned here have answered their nation's call, more than passed muster and now rest in peace.

"When you go forth to war against your enemies, you shall not be afraid of them; for the Lord your God is with you. Let not your heart faint; do not fear or tremble, or be in dread of them; for the Lord your God is he that goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to give you victory."      Deuteronomy 20
