The real heroes know who they are.
I never served in the military but sadly this is also my reaction to corporate stuff like this. I tend to be pretty cynical, but folks I do know who I would consider heroes -- special forces guys serving in the thick of things in Iraq and Afghanistan, and back in Vietnam -- also don't think much of it.
