Dear Vietnam Vet,
Thank you for the information. I grieve at your suffering and the betrayal of your marriage by the person I recognized as a hero in my program is “In Search Of Heroes.”
We are trying to define who are heroes and when by asking individuals who seem to be doing something good at one moment in time.
Gregory Alan Williams nailed what we are doing when he said, “There is a little bit of bad in the best of us and a little bit of good in the worst of us.” No one can be a hero all the time because we are all human and make mistakes and are self-centered. All fall short of the glory of God.
My choice of people to interview was based on the search for who might be real heroes. Through the process of interviewing people like the person you consider a villain, you don’t know if they are heroes until you watch their lives over a period of time. Their answers show their true colors.
The process basically identifies people who might be heroes in some area of their life. Anyone can be a hero if they help another person at one moment in time.
There are many different types of heroes and most people are heroes for only a short period of time, but that is enough to honor the good they did at that time.
I pray your suffering will be healed and the “villain” will receive the punishment for his sins. Often, people don’t pay in this life for their sins but I can guarantee God does not forget or forgive what they did.
Sincerely yours,
Ralph Zuranski
