where does courage come from?

I think it depends upon your age. When you are young you might think you are immortal (especially young men between 15 and 25 years of age) when you haven't felt extreme physical pain or injury possibly yet to any degree.

Then there is the courage of a mature person which usually comes from facing your own death many times along the way and watching all your relatives die one by one until the only ones left are your same age or younger.

These are the two basic kinds of courage that come to people along the way.

So, to sum up courage comes from being young and thinking you can't die or being old and having faced your death and watched people die a lot along the way.

Both kinds of courage help our country to survive whatever comes.
