I've been thinking about two quotes on heroism. Joseph Campbell said, "A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself." And Oliver Queen, in the TV show Arrow once remarked, "The essence of heroism is to die so that others may live."
Today, Memorial Day, I want us to pause from our activities and think about the heroes who gave their lives. I'm so humbled at the valor and heroism these brave men and women displayed. A simple thank you seems inadequate, but for today, we stop and remember their noble sacrifice. We will never take it for granted.
