Heroes for today

Article Abstract:

America is still a land of heroes, as proven by stories of moral values, determination and bravery. These are shown by an architect refusing to bribe a mayor for preferential contracts; a student receiving the highest amount of college scholarship ever recorded in a state; and a stranger risking his life to save a mother and child from a burning car.
