On this Anniversary of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights I would like to honour two groups of people giving of themselves in service for humanity:
The men and women working in law enforcement as high-tech crime investigators devote themselves to finding and apprehending the pedophiles that use the Internet as their hunting and feeding grounds. These police officers do so at the expense of having horrific images of exploited babies and youth seared into their memories. They fight for the rights of all the children of the world: black, white, Muslim, Christian, Jew, girl or boy. And for this my husband will always be my hero.
The men, women and youth who sacrifice the comforts of home to travel to distant lands in the spirit of service, and that give of their sweat and tears to better humanity. These people deliver everything from clean water, to medication, to eyeglasses, to school supplies, all of which are readily available for most here at home, but a Godsend for the millions of wanting people of the world. This year my thoughts are especially with the people helping in Darfour and Chad, may they all soon be returned to their homelands.
God bless these admirable steps towards Universal Human Rights.
