“There are a lot of heroes in society. They include moms and dads, doctors, nurses, and teachers, and those who go above and beyond to help others at great risk to themselves. I want to recognize three examples of such bravery today: Jim Spears, Daniel Letourneau, and Dwayne Davidson--all UPS employees--who risked their lives to help a stranger whose van had flipped multiple times on an icy highway outside of Indianapolis. The victim was stuck in her vehicle, and their selfless actions kept her from further harm. The beneficiary of their selfless acts said: ``The goodness of people in this world is so great . . . and there are truly great people out there who we should appreciate.'' Well said. Last week I had the opportunity to meet Jim, David, and Dwayne. Today, I want to commend them for their bravery and thank them for reminding us what it truly means to be a hero. ____________________”
