“Where do we get such men?”, a famous quote from James Michener’s novel.
I cannot recall in my lifetime in this county a more courageous act than the sacrifice of Greg McKendry. This act of heroism gained the time to subdue a dangerous man. Three other brave men stepped up and prevented a massacre.
All who acted today deserve great respect. But the greatest respect is to the man who gave the most.
A hundred years from now the people of this county should remember and honor the sacrifice of a selfless man.

His sacrifice for the lives of others should definitely be honored, and publicly.
