i only hope that i have that strong a moral character. it's easy to say you'd do it, but to actually leave your life here and go back to try and better their lives shows an amazing sense of strength. god bless you mr. hargesheimer.

Indeed. I do my best to just be A man but I know the lack of great ones like him are our current problem as far as progress for all of us as a nation and as a species.
