A lot of characters sacrificed something in LOTR, Boromir sacrificed his life for Merry and Pippin, Aragorn willingly sacrificed years of his life in the wilds to become a Ranger, Sam sacrificed his comfortable life to follow Frodo, each sacrificed something for the Greater good, as people do in war time. Those who refused to sacrifice something came to a sticky end. Denethor refused to sacrifice his pride, as did Saruman.
