The Real Heroes are Not in Rio

Like most of the nation, I have been following the Olympics closely and cheering on the athletes.  The Olympics are truly awesome and inspiring but the real heroes I believe aren’t in Rio.  To me, the real heroes are those who tirelessly sacrifice and dedicate their time and talents to taking care of and helping others.  They are the healthcare professionals and care-givers, teachers, coaches and mentors, fire and police men and women, and military personnel.  They don’t seek fame or recognition of their own but instead seek to help others.   So although I do love the Olympics and applaud the athletes for their incredible accomplishments—I encourage us all to give thanks and praise to the true heroes that surround us every day.  And I’m grateful for the true heroes I get to work by and associate with on a daily basis!  Go USA!!
