Barrett L. Austin, Easley, SC

My guess is that you do not know Barrett L. Austin. I would also venture a guess that you do not know the town of Easley, South Carolina. And in this day and age, we never will know unless we take our time and look for these youngsters and their stories.

To me, this is important because others are sacrificing and my country no longer pays attention.

Three Letter Word – Jobs (Steve Jobs, actually)

Few people will have the distinction in history afforded to Steve Jobs, who passed away yesterday. Mr. Jobs will probably be remembered as a digital age Da vinci. Someone with a vision that changed how we did things, maybe even how we thought about doing them.
