“She had always found villains more exciting than heroes. They had ambition, passion. They made the stories happen. Villains didn’t fear death. No, they wrapped themselves in death like suits of armor! As she inhaled the school’s graveyard smell, Agatha felt her blood rush. For like all villains, death didn’t scare her. It made her feel alive.” ―Soman Chainani
Heroes
Nurture Your Mind…
“Nurture your mind with great thoughts. To believe in the heroic makes heroes.” –Benjamin Disraeli
Veteran’s Day 2014
My brother’s best friend came home from Afghanistan having been shot on duty that wasn’t supposed to be dangerous. He was awarded a Purple Heart prior to being discharged. He was adamant that the “heroes came home in boxes draped in American flags”, but that they didn’t come home like he did. I disagree.
No matter when you served or how you served this country, you have done something heroic and deserve to be honored today, and every day.
