She sustained injuries while standing up for other people’s rights. Sounds like the textbook definition of heroics to me. Agreed. Better said than I could. All the best to **Sailboat** and **First Mate.** Posting a guard? :eek: Says a lot about the people we’re dealing with. ---

> [@Sailboat](#): > > I told her she is a hero and she categorically rejected the idea with embarrassment. I’ll settle for saying she is MY hero. There is no goddamn question about it: she is a hero. She didn’t intend to have to make such a sacrifice, but she was out there doing something incredibly important. A heck of a lot of Americans look back at the Freedom Riders and other civil rights pioneers, who suffered at the hands of white supremacists, and wonder if they have the guts to do what those courageous people did. Well, your wife does, that is for sure. I wish her great strength in her recovery, as she already seems to be very strong in her convictions. ---
