Former Army Private Jessica Lynch gave testimony, today, during the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearings.

Beyond the raw, emotional power of her statement--Lynch teaches us a lesson that we generally forget:  that the bravado we see and hear about on TV too often obscures the truly heroic deeds of our enlisted men and women.

Lynch also teaches us that soldiers are better than the rest of us at talking in real terms about acts of incredible courage and, ironically, of experiences of unbelievable fear.  It is tough to imagine how the members of the committee could make it through Lynch's testimony without  crying.
