"Some People Don't Believe in Heroes...

...but they haven't met my Dad!"

As we pay tribute to our Fathers today and thank them for all they've done for us and our families --- small and large --- remember they had a life before we were born. Many bravely faced the horrors of war at an age just months into adulthood.  Others were forced to leave young families behind to answer the nation's call and returned home injured or didn't return at all. The sacrifices of our Fathers (or Grandfathers) can never be repaid, nor can the strength and resolve of their wives and widows to keep our country going while the wars waged on be forgotten. 

The sacrifice given for freedom for future generations is the ultimate noble and generous act.  Now as many of our Fathers and Grandfathers are aging and becoming frail. instead of being protected, they are subjected to unlawful and abusive guardianships and conservatorships and other forms of elder abuse, and that fact is unforgivable.

Please be proactive in raising awareness and spreading the word about elder abuse and guardianship abuse.

I believe in heroes. Sadly many people worship athletes who are generously financially compensated for their talents on the court, or on the field.

True heroes step up and sacrifice themselves for nothing in return.

God bless our true heroes!
