Legacy of Giants

We stand on the shoulders of Giants. Our accomplishments did not begin in a vacuum. Something provided the spark. A word, a chance encounter with something, familiar or unfamiliar, set our face in the direction we have chosen. The platform the giants had created encouraged education, provided mobility and assured political stability. So here’s to the parents, the teachers, the ditch diggers, the bridge builders, the citizens, the lawmakers, the military and all who protected and expanded our freedom -- the giants who nutured the environment in which we might flourish.
