Heroes . . .

The Memorial Day remembrance of those who died fighting for our country has left me thinking of the three men in Portland, two of whom died defending a hijab-wearing teen and her African-American friend from the racist and anti-Muslim taunts of a deranged man. (And he was seriously deranged -- fuller story HERE)  By standing up for two strangers under attack, Ricky John Best, Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche, and Micah Fletcher showed humankind at its finest. Best and Namkai-Meche were murdered for their bravery; Fletcher was wounded in the attack. May their memories be a blessing. And may we all be as brave.
