I think CNN Heroes is one of the most inspirational and impact media initiatives I’ve seen. View the videos on the CNN Heroes website. If you are a teacher, I hope you will share these stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things to improve the world.
WORTH WATCHING: I’ve selected a few videos that convey on a deeper level than words the range of feelings – pride, patriotism, fear, boredom, pain and grief – associated with military service.
I hope you will take a few minutes to view them as your tribute to the men and women we owe so much. Watching them all will take less than 20 minutes.
