It is flattering to hear such praises from others who have served with US forces. Particularly when much of our Media is content to only look for our faults.

On my one and only "deployment" as part of a UN mission in Croatia, I experienced the same sentiment from the many nations we worked with. It wasn't hero worship, but there was a respect for Americans - unless (or until) we proved ourselves not worthy of that respect.
