Run, fight, submit or sacrifice your life so your fellows may live. The last is the act of a hero.
Like hero and ROTC cadet Riley C. Howell of UNCC. No honors or ceremonies will soothe the grief his parents must feel.
No amount of training can guarantee what anyone will do in a such a situation, yet it’s good to remember that sometimes, for some reason, people show that caring for the strangers around overcomes impossible odds at the ultimate price.
I think we all agree that what Riley Howell did shows how deep we are in trouble when someone gets a Presidential award for a good golf game.
Although I disagree with my friends here that carry concealed, I respect their desire to protect those around them. It’s the best us humans can aspire to.
