We should all remember that despite our differences of opinion, no matter how strong they are, that we are a better nation today than we were when this great man and many like him demonstrated uncommon courage to enable us to be better today.  As great as we are today, we will absolutely be even better when my kids are my age, and that is one of the great beauties of our nation and its people.  Thank you Dr. King for your leadership, your courage, your sacrifices (including the ultimate sacrifice), and for the gift you've given our nation that keeps on giving.
