The obvious infrastructure deployment requires the expectation of a healthy return on capital. That should be taken as a given but all too often in my experience the issue of return on capital is either ignored or misunderstood in policy forums.

What happens often times they heroism is recognized, but not at the highest level or to the silver star or the bronze star very few people are in the middle. He would almost for sure say that he didnt deserve it. He might point out to somebody else that was more heroic than he was he was very humble. He never talked about the Carnegie Medal and when i interview people that knew him when i did the book a long time ago people knew him well and i said what about the Carnegie Medal and they didnt know anything about it. He earned his medals and was very modest. He didnt think that he deserved it so he never talked about it and i think that he would have been the same way. Ive known a lot of medal of honor recipients in the foundation and most of them will tell you i didnt deserve this and it should have been given to somebody else.
