My Hero's

My Aunt Cindy sent this e-mail to me and I liked the meaning and message of it so much as well that I decided to post it here. The only thing I would change is saying that "My heroes are the people who place themselves at risk for the benefit of others, and their families that support them." It takes a strong family to support a hero and in my mind they are just as courageous as the hero. (I know it's more than a week past Veteran's Day, but I've been a little busy and I'm trying to catch up.)

This came from Col. Oliver North and I totally agree with his comments.

Heroes aren't athletes who set new sports records or Hollywood actors who make daring films or politicians who make bold promises. Heroes are people who place themselves at risk for the benefit of others.

My Heroes wear flak jackets, flight suits and combat boots, and we owe them a debt of gratitude. America enjoys freedom today because our true heroes, the men and women of the United States Armed Forces, are willing to sacrifice their tomorrows for us.

This Veteran's Day, please pay tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of the men and women who wear our nation's uniform. To all our active duty Armed Forces and all our veterans, we at Freedom Alliance salute you and thank you for your service.

This may be something that you may want to share with the class tomorrow since it is Veterans Day.
