The Kindness of a Hometown Hero

"A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself."
― Joseph Campbell

Tonight, our community welcomed home one of its own from his latest tour in Afghanistan.  This combat veteran is a loving husband and father of three who felt strongly that he wanted to serve his country after 9/11, so off he has gone several times, putting himself in harm's way in various countries to protect his own country.  Our hometown hero is a kind man with a big heart.  And as a small token of its appreciation, our community organized a parade and a community-wide welcome home celebration for him.
