Heroes

During chaos, when the moral values of a society fade from view, there are many people who exploit the situation and take advantage of others. There are also a principaled few who, at great cost to themselves, choose to do all they can to protect the lives of others. We honor these people who during the darkest moments of human history reminded us that there was still good in the world.
