We are living in a world where ethics, integrity and honor have been replaced by greed, apathy and selfishness. Our hero’s have fallen. Our politicians are corrupt. Our cities and schools are crumbling. It’s time to draw a line in the sand. Pick up our children and teach them right from wrong. If you want a trophy, it’s time to work hard and come in 1st place.
