In Memory Of "Ordinary" Heroes
Copied From The 150th Website www.dixiesappers.org
Ordinary heroes walk among us. With uncommon bravery and profound care, they appear in our lives without warning or fanfare. Some wear uniforms or carry badges, some do not, but all wear the armor of integrity, compassion, courage, and honor. Heroes put the needs of others before their own. They can be someone in our family, someone with whom we work, a shopkeeper, a stranger on the street, even a beloved pet. They can be a child, a teacher, a doctor or nurse, or a friend who takes time enough to listen. Our greatest heroes can be anywhere and everywhere we are. Their names and deeds are seldom spoken of, rarely heard. Without a blare of trumpets or a cheering crowd, they become heroes unaware by making a decision in an instant, acting on the spur of the moment, or working tirelessly to rescue, comfort, or to be a voice for those who have none. Heroes work with a passion behind the scenes to support our lives, to defend our honor, and to safeguard our world. They know that great things come from a series of small actions. They recognize a need and fill it. They know how to fight with dreams and visions, and to protect and defend so that others may live. Heroes are defiant in their mission. Their values are never for sale. The world may know little of its greatest heroes, but in our hearts we know who they are. Heroes are messengers from heaven. Their love, compassion, and bravery are God's touch upon humanity. Ordinary heroes are often unaware they are setting an example. By the way they live their lives, they change the course of other lives, making a difference forever. Ordinary heroes are those extraordinary souls who give so much of themselves, ask for so little in return, and show us the divine capacity of the human spirit. --Dedicated to these "Ordinary Heroes" who have graced our lives in so many ways.
