I just have to say

[spooky3]

that if I were Daniel Hernandez's mother, I would be brimming with pride. What a wonderful young man.

:) that is to say, he accepted my request to be friends on facebook!

5. very cool! I was impressed at his answer re: career plans in an earlier interview.

Despite what he had witnessed, he wants a career in politics. I half-expected him to say he was thinking of switching to medicine. Of course, as a political science major, he had obviously thought about this for a long time.

3. He has a bright future in politics.

I can't believe he's an intern! Very impressive.

4. A hero, and a humble one

The greatest heroes are the people who don't think they're heroes, who simply perform acts of heroism because that's who they are and they know no other way. He's one of them.

When you're looking for the "America" that's seemed lost in recent years, look at him, and you'll find it.
