Courage


Twenty years ago Chinese students protested repression by the Chinese government in Tiananmen Square.  The violent response of the Chinese government left many people dead and wounded.  We will never forget this man who stood in front of a line of tanks to prevent their passing.  After the incident he disappeared.  No one knows who he is or what happened to him

I do not have much time today, so this will be a very short post.  I just wanted to share this sentiment expressed by my husband.  

Why would anyone think bravery is walking into a church and shooting an unarmed man?  What you see in this drawing based on the famous photo of the unknown Chinese man----now that is true courage.
