This is a very different world than it was just a year ago, isn’t it? In my opinion, one of the most important events of the last 12 months is the rise of The Bravest Men and Women America Has Ever Known.
American history is replete with courageous action. The colonists who defied the greatest Superpower of their day, the pioneers who set out westward to build their futures, the first- responders who ran toward the Twin Towers as they burned – for more than two centuries, America has truly been the “home of the brave.” Americans have a long history of selfless acts of bravery.
But over the past year, and especially over the past few months, we’ve seen thousands of acts of selfish bravery – Americans who act bravely solely for their own benefit.
