If you heard his speech last night, and whether or not you agree with his politics, many of us can appreciate the statements he made when speaking of his grandparents. He spoke of their ordinary courage in extraordinary times. His grandfather enlisting and marching with Patton's army. His grandmother working in a factory to support the war effort. He spoke of his mother, and the sacrifices she made so that he could have more opportunities and a better life. They were eloquent words, a moving tribute to his heritage. Think about your heritage, the people who have sacrificed for you. Express your gratitude to them, for their influence, care and guidance.
