Heroes Week
Today's NY Times carries an article asking where all the heroes are from the Iraqi War.Well, from August 71-14, they'll be at my blog. I've been maintaining a web site called AMERICAN HEROES for some time, highlighting the America's heroes in the War on Terror. All this week I'll be posting some of these stories on my blog, along with others that I haven't added to the site yet. Read about Rick Rescorla, hero of Vietnam, and hero again as he saved thousands of his co-workers during the horrific events of 9/11. And he sang, doing it. Read about Mark Mitchell. He borrowed a turban to scale a prison wall to rescure a CIA officer in Afghanistan. Teresa Broadwell is a small woman. But standing on tip toe, she managed to use her weapon to hold off an ambush until help arrived. Leigh Ann Hester, manager of a small shoe store, charged entrenched enemy with her squad leader, and the two of them killed or routed a determined enemy. Unfortunately, far too many of these stories exist only in military press releases. This week I hope to show as many people as I can what heroes we have defending us.
