Heroes
Since the movie A Mighty Heart has been released about Daniel (and Marianne) Pearl, it got me thinking about people I admire. I did not know Daniel Pearl personally, but I know people who did. Anyone who implicitly or explicitly builds bridges and reduces fear and hatred between people of different races, nationalities, religions, etc. is a hero to me. His story deserves to be retold around the world.
Two other heroes whom I did not know but to whom I had a connection of one kind and whose stories inspire me:
Fern Holland
Amy Biehl
We should not forget them either. I am in awe of each of them. I almost tear up each time I read their stories and realize the bright light that was put out way, way too soon.
