Definitely NOT Charlie Sheen or any actor or actress that I can think of. At a recent youth fireside an LDS NFL player was the main speaker. He told the youth they should not look to the sports world for hero's. Isn't it a shame we place such money value on entertainment. My definition of a hero would be the "Fukushima Fifty."
"They work sweating in airtight suits, fighting disaster in a plant collapsing at their feet. They brave explosions and fires that have already killed five of them and may have blasted the others with life-changing radiation. They are the "Fukushima Fifty", the handful of people who are all that now stands between Japan and the world's second-worst nuclear accident."
These men are volunteers, knowing they are most likely facing a death sentence. Their goal is not money, fame , or power. Their goal is to help their country and fellow men, women, and children. These men have well earned the right to be called hero's. God bless them and all those living this nightmare.
People keep posting videos of Japan on facebook and I haven't bothered to watch them. I know it will just break my heart. Stories like this one you've shared really help remind us the human heart is a wonderfully powerful thing.
ReplyDeleteWe are going to have to donate to the Humanitarian Fund this Sunday. The aftermath of Tsunamis is what kills people, not the sudden hit.
Very well said, Mom.
