The Real Heroes Of America
When I die, I want to die alongside the real heroes of America-the Marines and SEALS. The Marines and SEALS are the "real men"-they fight for the freedom that so many people don't seem to care about.
People in the Marines or SEALS aren't paid very much considering what they do. They put their lives on the line whenever they are needed.
