I totally agree with you on that Fx. But those men were not what made this country endure. No matter what place they seem to take in the history books. Our country has endured because of the human spirit of those who helped their neighbors, who had barn-raisings, who sacrificed personal comfort and material gain for the betterment of the community, for those in need. Those who truly had valiant acts of service and courageous hearts. Those who demonstrated compassion on others and had a vision that exceeded their own prosperity. Those who were generational in their vision, thinking beyond their personal here and now.

Strength of thought, word and deed founded in love for one another.
