We should follow the example of a NorthMiami woman named Desiline Victor. WhenDesiline arrived at her polling place, she wastold the wait to vote might be six hours. Andas time ticked by, her concern was not with hertired body or aching feet, but whether folkslike her would get to have their say. And hourafter hour, a throng of people stayed in line tosupport her―because Desiline is 102 years old.And they erupted in cheers when she finallyput on a sticker that read, “I voted.” (Applause)Here’s Desiline.We should follow the example of a policeofficer named Brian Murphy. When a gunmanopened fire on a Sikh temple in Wisconsin,Brian was the first to arrive and he did notconsider his own safety. He fought back untilhelp arrived and ordered his fellow officersto protect the safety of the fellow Americansworshiping inside, even as he lay bleeding from12 bullet wounds. And when asked how he didthat, Brian said, “That’s just the way we’remade.”
