On the anniversary of a fateful day, I find myself drawn to a poignant tribute that never fails to move me to tears. The quote “Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear” resonates deeply, especially in the context of Welles Crowther’s selfless act.
While I’d like to think I would have exhibited similar bravery, I’m humbled by the realization that I might have opted for self-preservation instead. It’s Welles’ remarkable story that sets him apart – a true hero who, despite being consumed by fear, chose to risk everything to save others.
His courage is a beacon of inspiration, reminding us of the very best of humanity. Individuals like Welles Crowther make us proud to be part of a nation that values sacrifice, compassion, and bravery. Their legacy continues to inspire, a testament to the enduring power of heroism.
