no cape.
no super powers.
no leaping tall buildings in a single bound.
no saving the day....... well, maybe.
just a man.
it's a combination of the best of my friends, my mentors, my role models.
Men who have risen above so many adversities:
Losing a wife to Cancer.
Having a child die way to young.
Taking on the mantle of Dad, when 'dad' just doesn't seem to care.
Working a job that seems to make him miserable to watch his kids have a chance at something MORE.
There's no secret identity, unless you consider that they seldom get recognition for the true HEROES that they are. They don't don a special suit to help them fight injustice, but they do often dry tears on a little girl's face when she falls. They fight for what they believe in, just like the comic book legends, but they fight in the real world - through real problems that come in the face of MAN.
There are so many, and I know I'll leave out some, but not on purpose. Know that you all are men of so much strength and integrity that I am thankful are out there - making a difference in the lives of your families, your friends and the World.
Jason P., Matt T., Earl T., Calvin C., Allen M. (I miss you, PaPa), Dave P., Andy H., Craig C., and sooooooooooooo many others.
Thank you, MEN of STEEL.
