I don't know her name - But she's my hero.

[kpete]

I need to tell you this:
The other day I drove by this woman
Holding a sign
Protesting children in cages
Just her
She’s been out every day
All summer
She’s been flipped off
Had drinks thrown at her
Cursed at
And she’s still out there
I don’t know her name
But she’s my hero.

1. We have this guy in our neighborhood - 87 years old!

He's been walking every day since January or February, more than 170 consecutive days:

2. People who know the value of America's true moral values.

We should all be hitting the streets and the voting booths. Resist. Persist. GOTV!

3. This is the second time or third time I've seen this photo and every time ...

it helps me be resolute in trying to be more like him now that I am in my geezerhood. Thanks, George!

I wish I knew more about him. I'd like to be sure he has comfortable shoes. Maybe someone more savvy than I can figure out how we can help/show our appreciation and support.

5. Yes, I started a discussion about him a month or so ago.

Here's more about him (and you can find him on twitter - Alan R. Dornan)

14. People like these two give me hope.

Like the tiny green shoots that start poking up through the ashes and debris after a forest fire.
