    About this ebook

    You were looking for a hero, one or many it does not matter. Not the kind found in the movies, with powers "super humanly" given at birth or by scientific accidents. Ask yourself how many accidents ever went right or even well? The very definition of accident says much all by itself. In today’s uncertain times, we need to think about each other more and ourselves less. We need to find the place in our hearts that allows for kindness and compassion to outweigh depression and hopelessness.

    God gave us His Book, The Holy Bible. There are real heroes that fought higher battles, and followed His mighty word, written again and again, to help us understand; sacrifice, honor, integrity, loyalty, and what “love” really means.
    There are real heroes today. They walk among us and do hard jobs. They are the men and women that make our towns, our cities, and our country safe for ALL.

    God Bless them!

    This tribute is to you!
