Reply #6: Our resources are our people [View All]

For example.. during a northeast blackout not long ago, there were very few negative incidents. People pulled together. We raise money quickly when we need to. Many people still have evacuees in their homes from Katrina.

Over 300 men on 9/11 went up the stairs to bring people down, went up to a sure inferno, and never came back. That is bravery.

Every day in this country police, firefighters, medics and other emergency personnel..the Coast Guard... risk their lives to help others. Even just standing on the interstate working an accident is risky and the leading cause of death among medics, but yet they do it.

Teachers go to work every day and face too many children coming from hopeless situations and they don't give up. They go to work every day.

We are not our government.

These are just a few examples I can think of.
