Take
a look at who the real heroes are right in our own community
By DAVID EPPS
Pastor
Prior to Sept. 11,
heroes in America were athletes, movie actors, and rock stars. In the
aftermath of the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks, these former
"heroes" now seem shallow and insignificant, hardly worth
notice. True heroes were seen in the firefighters and police officers,
over 400 of them, who perished trying to save the lives of people they
did not know. True heroes were seen in the personages of the young men
on the highjacked airplane over Pennsylvania who sacrificed their own
lives and prevented another terrible tragedy.
