A Tribute to True Heroes

Please remember our modern day true heroes in a world that's too prone to create false idols—those that are foolish and greedy and hollow, with feet of clay. The courageous men and women portrayed here studied hard, trained for long hours, and had enormous Faith in our Creator, while knowing that the journeys they dared to take would benefit humanity in many ways. 

These valiant men and women didn't die in vain nor has the intense suffering and loneliness of the families they left behind been in vain. The astronauts died for a dream that we still pursue, to return to the stars whence we all came. We can never forget their sacrifices or the pain their families have endured. We shall indeed return and explore even more worlds.
