"True, who is blind and dead, awoke his owner during a fire"

I think True deserves his own special category.

which is some random military guy, some of whom have done something heroic, but most just called heroes for wearing the uniform.
i wouldn't have such a problem with it if once in a while, they included another sort of hero. even a local cop of firefighter. but really, this city is so full of everyday heroes. moms who raised 12 kids in public housing. and i always add in my rants "or a pitbull that dragged his family out of a burning house."

i wonder if they found a dog to honor today. will be at the game and will post here if that bright light comes on.
