Every soldier that ever ENLISTED in their country's armed forces and died in war. Try looking at the thousands of names on the memorials in Washington to get an idea.
Then go read the names on the memorials for the fallen firefighters and police officers in New York city for 9/11.
All those thousands meet your criteria.

Simon who also is named Peter, Andrew, James, Phillip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, Nathanael, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes.John was banished to the isle of Patmos.Judas Iscariot hung himself after realizing the terrible thing he had done in betraying Christ.Isn't it amazing that all these men walked and talked with Jesus Himself, and they all were willing to die because they believed in Him.

Understand this, . . . . . anyone who really believes that this is the greatest country on earth ( at this time ) and believes that laws and governments, though not perfect, is willing to die for it. Where else can you really live in peace and know that in order to have this life here in this country must have armies and all in order to provide the security and the fortitude to maintain our sovereignty to make sure that this continues to be a country worth dying for.
Those who wrote the Constitution are men that were willing to die for this country and they were men that believed that the laws were worthy to say as well that " we are UNDER GOD " in order to tell the world that we recognize who we really are in life here.
I am also one who would be willing to die for my country even though I am too old to go to war, I would still be willing to make a stand for this country even with the troubles that exist.
You see, . . . . . This is indeed the greatest country in the world, and is indeed worth dying for. There are literally millions willing to do this every day. Think what is going on In Iraq and other countries right now. We have many, many people in wars even now.
Now what do you think. ??

Abraham Lincoln - he may not have died in the middle of a congress address, but he died because of "changing" the way thing were to make it better and easier for the common good.
