    • In this Thursday, June 7, 2012 photo, Jason Moon, a veteran and singer-songwriter, performs in front of a small crowd in Glendale, Calif. Moon, who served in the Army in the Iraq War, suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, and has written an album of songs about his experience that he shares with veterans and civilians. Moon and other veterans try to tell people, they are not heroes. To them, a hero is someone who has gone above and beyond the call of duty. As they see it, they simply did what was asked of them, though often at personal cost. Others have survivor's guilt. (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong)

Though he rejects the hero label, Moon, who served in the Army in the Iraq War, still considers himself a warrior, with a responsibility to look back to see who among his comrades remains in trouble. "I'm going back in to get them," he says. And he's doing it with music - "because that's what I know how to do." That, he says, is how he will complete the mission. (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong)
