There are times and events

There are times and events where individuals and small groups of people stand fast against tyranny and corruption. Some of the heroes are historical figures and many are lost in the fog of history. Famous notable examples are the Spartans at Thermopylae, The Alamo, von Staufenberg of "The Hitler Bomb Plot" and Sir Thomas Mann.

Few, will note or remember the sacrifice of the "Students against Hitler", Hildegard Gruenigan, Krisof Probst, Axel Denk and Klaus Schneider. This heroic group printed flyers denouncing Hitler and his evil cabal. They all paid for their efforts with their lives and died in concentration camps. The evil they fought against was ultimately exposed and destroyed.

All of the above paid severe penalties for their heroism and courage but made their mark in the ultimate victory against tyranny an corruption We in Illinois, have our own examples of courage in Ken Ditkowsky and JoAnne Denison and we are morally responsible to provide them with every support possible. Please be with them in their time of need...tomorrow. KC
