Redefining Visionaries As Heroes --Waldman

The true heroes are fire fighters, police, soldiers and all those brave individuals who risk their lives to save others and protect our freedoms. And rightly so; September 11 thrust a far more meaningful perspective as to which individuals are truly worthy of our total admiration.

Those who stormed the beaches of Normandy, rush into burning buildings and, like the passengers of Flight 93, take on terrorists deserve a lofty place in our hearts and our thoughts. But although they justifiably occupy the top position, they still leave a little room for those who make a difference in improving the quality of our lives.
