Is this a good sentence?
I'm writing an essay and I am wondering if this sentence could be improved at all? Something about it just doesn't sound right to me. Any suggestions?
Here's the sentence:
These men and women are just that, heroes, and we should pay them tribute every opportunity we get.

I trust the word "heroes" appears in prior context. Right. I think "every opportunity we get," without a preposition, is rather low register.

Right. I think "every opportunity we get," without a preposition, is rather low register.
I'd probably say, "pay them tribute at every opportunity." Scratch the "we get."
I think the rest is good.
