Heroes come from all walks of life and can be found in every part of the world. Some people think you must be brave to be a hero and that only certain people have what it takes to be both. But I think everyone has the makings to be a hero and to be brave. I believe heroism and bravery are born out of fear - the fear of knowing that if you don't do something to affect the outcome, to defend others or yourself, to be willing to be a part of one voice and one country, you will become a pawn and at the mercy of the merciless. And as long as there is hope, anything is possible and as long as we make the effort to do our part, freedom will continue to ring throughout our land. - DEJ
