The situation itself is likely to be short lived if you are a survivor. The memory of how you handled yourself will reappear with every telling of the tale. I would use my head of course and not just waste resources, but the things you carry are there to be used not treasured.

In modern life you aren't offered many chances to be truly heroic. In fact life in the US dosen't even offer many opportunities to be sacraficially kind. Everybody has so much all ready. Be remembered well. Mac
