"Message"

"Courage comes in many forms. It is obvious when we see acts of bravery from those who put their lives in the middle of danger, when we see those who are uncommonly brave and those who risk all for others. These people have hearts of gold in their giving. They should be honored for their acts of courage. There are other types of courage. These types are acts of courage from individuals, sometimes on a daily basis. It is the person who moves forward when there does not seem to be any place to go, it is the individual who fails and tries again, who doesn't give up. It is one who suffers pain silently or carries his burdens with dignity. Never let it be said that those, too, should not be honored for their courage is great. Though it is not the type that brings headlines or is obvious in many ways, it is these acts of courage that are magnificently displayed. Never belittle yourself or your act of courage though it may be small. Recognize it and honor it."
