We need heroes. We need examples of what right looks like, where we can see a principle put into action and then observe the results. We have all heard the farmer's law.

"You reap what you sow."

What are the consequences of a life lived with audacity, integrity, and thankfulness? We can look to Patton, Regulus, and Helen Keller to find out. What is the outcome if we persevere, and live nobly, with zeal? Ed Coan, George Washington, and Amelia Earhart show us.

They say, you sow a thought; you reap an action. You sow an action; you reap a habit. You sow a habit; you reap your character. You sow your character; you reap a legacy. I hope to see my children and this whole generation reap a legacy worth reading about, a legacy of virtue and hope.
