Wil's Rant

Another person who had given of themselves to help others is dead. This time a retires R.C.M.P. officer has been killed in Haiti. It's the thing that most strikes me about people who do this kind of work. I'm talking about those who work in troubled regions of the world trying to help the people deal with a variety of horrors and tragedies. Many times they do so at extraordinary risk to their own well-being. From private aid workers to retired cops working with the U.N. they are all heroes of the planet. I don't have the courage to go to the places that more than half of these people go. They should all be honored for their sacrifice and bravery.
