Wow.
I guess he knew the risk involved with the job, and accepted the risk as a part of helping/protecting others.

It takes a special kind of person to be willing to walk toward a bomb and disarm it.

Check out the movie "The Hurt Locker" which is about these people. A special kind of person indeed.
