The courage to face political threats

| February 21, 2025 7:00 AM

Recently I have thought a great deal of the meaning of courage. 

I think of my friends who risked their lives under withering enemy fire in the jungles of Vietnam. And those who succumbed to the threats in Vietnam, survived, but have been burdened by PTSD and went on to live productive lives.

I think of the first responders who went into the horrific fires and danger of the Twin Towers on 9-11 to save the lives of countless others. There is another kind of courage. The courage to face political and physical threats here at home.
