Todays Heroes

Hi

Today I would like to point out some real heroes who are living among us. My definition of a hero is one who does their duty and takes responsibility for themselves and helps others. Under this definition all you people who work, either at a job or as a homemaker fit, and deservedly so.

This is not to slight those people but merely to point out some noted individuals.

The recent presidential flap involving Sgt Crowley of the Cambridge, Massachusetts police comes to mind. Just think of the enormity of the situation, here is a policeman in a relatively quiet area of Boston and while answering a routine 911 call the sky descends upon him. Sgt Crowley did no wrong, he obeyed protocol when answering the call. It was the Professor who introduced race into the situation. The next thing the president is blabbering about it at a national news conference. The president even said the policeman acted "stupidly". Did they pile up on this patrolman, wow.

Sgt Crowley is an example of the hero that I admire, a regular "Joe" going about his daily life doing his job. Keep in mind that when there is trouble the average person moves away but the police, like our brave service people, move towards the hot spot. We don't hear the media hyping this but if a policeman does wrong, the media sharks go into a feeding frenzy. I don't have the clout of the media but I will make it a point to point out the heroism that these unsung police go through. To all police people,keep up the good work. Real people admire and respect you. Thanks for a job well done.

Please keep our heroes in mind and pray for them.
GOD Bless
