Our country enjoys so many freedoms thanks to the heroes who fight to protect them in the military. Our streets are safer thanks to the heroes who patrol our neighborhoods. Our children are loved and well educated, giving our world a future, thanks to the heroes who teach them in the classroom. Our poor and hungry are cared for thanks to the heroes who give themselves full-time to care for those in need. Our homes are protected thanks to the heroes fighting fire with sweat and hard work. Our families are healthy thanks to the heroes who make it their mission in life. Thanks to the heroes who serve, our country and communities are a better place to live.
