I honor the memory of good people, who have died in service of others.

Who died doing the right thing.

Who lived humble, honorable lives, and made the planet a better place.

Let's think about those people.

If you have someone in mind who fits this description, feel free to post it.

All those first responders who ran up the stairs on 9/11.

All those that stormed the beaches in Normandy on D-Day, knowing they may not make it home.

I'm going to stay in this space, and see what other names or groups I can identify.

And they still did the right thing.

I had so many names to list, I thought I would see what others had to say.
Yes it will be interesting to see what is posted.
