Heroes At The Taj
This story was on Forbes.com earlier this week, and was forwarded to me from a friend. I think it’s something that we should all ready…
We tried to break the glass window in front of us with a chair, but it wouldn’t budge. The Harbour Bar’s hostess, who had remained at her post, motioned to us that it was safe to make a run for the stairwell. She mentioned, in passing, that there was a dead body right outside in the corridor. We believe this courageous woman was murdered after we ran away.
…
At around 11:30 p.m., the kitchen went silent. We took a massive wooden table and pushed it up against the door, turned off all the lights and hid. All of the kitchen workers remained outside; not one staff member had run.
The terrorists repeatedly slammed against our door. We heard them ask the chef in Hindi if anyone was inside the office. He responded calmly: “No one is in there. It’s empty.” That is the second time the Taj staff saved our lives.
….
In a time when the liberals want us to believe that 100% of the outside world hates us, there is continuous proof that other cultures, and other people, will risk their own lives to try and defend the values that America is trying to promote.
Whether the liberals like it or not, America has a moral stance that much of the world relies on as the pinnacle of freedom and hope.
We are not perfect. We have our own problems, but we always have. The difference between our great democracy is that we rest our values on something deeper than government, but allow that government to represent our values.
Let’s hope that happens in the next 4 years.
God Bless America.
