Courage is the word of the year -- missing from too many so-called leaders' actions. Thanks for addressing this powerful word - COURAGE - and acknowledging those who have shown it - as an example for more of us to follow. Let's keep pushing our leaders to show us their courage and speak up and stand up for the principles on which our country was founded.

It is hard to know where inner courage will be needed when you and your spouse are 84 and living comfortably in retirement. But for now we are committed to working with charities (local and global) that fight for the oppressed and take wrongdoers to court...not that courts seem to matter much anymore to the nation's oppressors. And we are committed to using our home as a shelter for those whose families are threatened by the country's new storm troopers.
