The Heroes Among Us
 
Last Thursday, two events occurred that shocked the country.
 
An antisemitic Lebanese-born American drove his car loaded with fireworks and explosives into a Detroit-based Jewish synagogue and school building. The synagogue’s two security guards saved 100+ preschoolers from certain death when they instinctively pulled their weapons on the man. One of the guards, a former police officer, was injured himself when the car ran into him. The guards prevented more damage, and the intruder chose to take his own life.
 
Those security guards were heroes.
 
On the same day, at Old Dominion College in Norfolk, Virginia, a gunman opened fire in a Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) classroom. Later identified as an ISIS sympathizer, the gunman killed an instructor who was a longtime decorated officer and injured two other people. Before the already once convicted terrorist could complete his plan to kill more on campus, two ROTC students subdued the gunman and killed him. 
 
Those students were heroes. 
 
Not all of us experience moments like these –- times when your adrenalin begins to pump and you must make a quick decision about what to do in a difficult situation. Our U.S. veterans have certainly lived through moments like that. As have those of us whose family members are in law enforcement, or the legal profession. But even some ordinary folks who work in retail or schools or hospitals have had to experience tough moments of decision. The choices they make at that second can change many lives and their own. 
 
As Rotary members, our tough decisions come in waves. Which project will I support? What will I give to our In Tune fundraiser so that kids in Missoula can make music? How best can I help Guatemalan villagers experience clean water? Will my blood donation really save lives? Filling all those bags of nutritious food assures that kids get fed, right?
 
While it may not seem like it, when we’re laughing and joking together, having fun side-by-side in a long line of volunteers trying to stuff hundreds of bags of food into hard-to-open plastic bags at Missoula Food Bank, we are indeed saving lives. It might not make headlines like the tragedies I mentioned from last week. We don’t need to be armed, other than with our love of the community and our determination to serve its needs. 
 
Rotarians are heroes, too.  
 
Thank you for being a Rotary Hero.
