Remembering True Heroes
Half of the most popular movies of all time have been stories of heroes overcoming insurmountable odds to win the day. Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, Peter Parker in Spiderman, Frodo Baggins in Lord of the Rings, all emerged from humble beginnings to triumph victoriously over great odds.
Some of our greatest heroes led ordinary lives until circumstances demanded extraordinary courage
In reality, some of the greatest heroes also led ordinary lives until circumstances demanded extraordinary courage. To them we owe a debt of remembrance.
Monuments carved in stone on the battlefields of Europe trace the path of Hitler’s defeat. Names etched in granite on a long black wall in Washington, D.C., memorialize heroes of a controversial war. Faces engraved on the hearts of every friend and family member keep memories strong.
This Memorial Day I’m going to remember and express my thanks to the men and women whose bravery guarded our liberties. They are my heroes.
