by James F. Duffy
January 13

Dear Hero, As you read this letter, you may not even be aware that it's for you. You might not even be here, on Earth, to read these words.

On this day, 20 years ago, you were more courageous than you ever thought you could be. You were called and unbeknownst of the dangers waiting for you, you sacrificed everything you knew. No matter what you did and/or where you were, your life was priceless. A hero comes in many shapes...
