Not All Heroes Wear Capes... Some Wore Dog Tags
When you think of ‘heroes,’ what do you picture?
Our minds instantly think of Batman, Superman, or Wonder Woman—caped who saves people from monsters. But real heroism doesn’t fly—it stands.
It marches through battlegrounds.
It endures pain.
It returns with the weight of war.
Heroism is often associated with capes, but its true essence is worn with dog tags, combat boots, and military uniforms.
The Essence of True Heroism
What does bravery mean to you?
A firefighter running into a burning building?
A police officer chasing after a thief?
A doctor working through the night in the hospital?
These acts show heroism—courage that doesn’t come with a cape or is present in comic books.
The truth is— it does come with a deep sense of duty.
A deep sense of duty acted by veterans who served in silence yet made the loudest sacrifices that resound through decades and generations.
The Role of Veterans in our Nation
Every veteran carries a story. Behind every dog tag they own, life is changed— missed events like birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and even burials.
Their great sacrifice means a lot, as they gave up a part of them so we won’t have to.
Each one of us should be aware that no veteran served alone. Their spouses, children, and parents have also made sacrifices — enduring long deployments and the anxiety of worrying about their loved one’s safety.
Thus, every veteran not only has a story— they inspire. Their unique stories resonate with everyone who listens to them. They serve as an anchor of strength and the epitome of great courage.
The Aftermath of the Battle
Have you met a veteran whose story did not leave a lasting impression?
Once the fight is over, a soldier leaves the battlefield.
But the truth is — after the war, veterans come home from battle with scars, both visible and invisible.
Physically, they might have experienced injuries, fatigue, or mobility issues. But, wounds left by the war aren’t just physical— there are mental and emotional aspects, too.
Returning to civilian life might also have caused Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), relationship issues, or financial hardship— totally making it challenging to adjust to civilian life.
So, how can we better support them in their journey to healing?
