There are many more unsung heroes who aren’t listed here but, we recognize and salute them.  They all have made a difference and created a pathway for us to walk upon.  It’s because of their courage, strength and determination that has allowed us to live in a world that’s better than they had it.  Our world isn’t perfect and we still have obstacles to conquer but Thank God we’re here.
