A war hero is someone that extends their service to reach what is called above and beyond the Call of Duty in the face of danger. More times than not, those who exceed the call of duty are not recognized for their valiant service. In light of this, those who return from combat are often called heroes. However, a true hero is someone who places themselves after the needs of others, despite imminent danger. So in reality, each service member who enters a combat zone has exposed themselves to combat, and as a result, the threat of the loss of life, limb or eyesight. This, in fact, makes them a hero.

Why is World War 2 unique?
World War 2 was perhaps one of the few wars in the history of mankind where the fight was about something more than a political squabble. The War of 1812, WW1, Vietnam, none of these were like WW2. It was the closest we will ever get to a true good v evil war. Yes, the Allies did have Stalin, and the Axis did have redeeming features, but there was still a clear hero in the eyes of most. It is the most similar to a fairy tale: A noble side fighting in the name of freedom, sovereignty, and democracy, defending the world against an cohort of brutal, genocidal dictatorships.
