I believe that we lift ourselves up when we elevate those around us; our greatest asset as humans is our ability to act above and beyond our most basic animal instincts.

This guy gave all, I'll give hime a minute or two...
This guy is a defender of my way of life. Selflessly and fearlessly giving everything so that I can live my life the way I want. The difference between his story and the billions of stories of starving people, is that this guy earned my attention.

Data: How well did you know Lieutenant Aster?
Riker: We spent some time together ... not very well. How well did you know her?
Data: Why do you ask?
Riker: Well, you just asked me.
Data: But ... why do you ask the question? Since her death, I have been asked several times to define how "well" I knew Lieutenant Aster, and I heard you ask Wesley on the bridge how "well" he knew Jeremy. Does the question of familiarity have some bearing on death?
Riker: Do you remember how we all felt when Tasha died?
Data: I do not sense the same feelings of absence that I associate with Lieutenant Yar, although I cannot say precisely why.
Riker: It's just human nature, Data.
Data: Human nature, Sir?
Riker: We feel a loss more intensely when it's a friend.
Data: But should not the feelings run just as deep, regardless of who has died?
Riker: Maybe they should, Data. Maybe if we felt any loss as keenly as we felt the death of one close to us, human history would be a lot less bloody.

Let me rephrase...
Like I said, this guy EARNED my attention. The 50K suffering kids didn't. I feel bad for them, but I don't like spending my time reading about something I'm completely aware of. My family and I make our yearly dontations to various causes, that's about the extent of how far I'm willing to go to help those outside my own family and close friends. That and that I've already put my time in the military serving my country.
