What was meant to terrorize has galvanized us as Americans and awakened a sleeping giant, which has shown its strength and courage. And it is that strength that makes America great. It is not in our real estate, or our government – it is in the spirit of our people. Hero’s have stepped up in a moment of crises to risk their lives simply because they were needed […]
