When we engage our world we make a choice that affects people we may never get the chance to meet, such is the scope of our actions and our our choices. The outcome is so critically important. This video is an inspiring look at people who chose to act, and in so doing did so in a very effective manner. I am very grateful to see them honored by the community.

@davidfpuu Very wise words. It is important 'to step forward'. These are the results of a few who are being recognized. Many who do are unknown and unheard of. Today we shall honor these on behalf of the whole. The Life You Save May Be Your Own-K38
