The coloring above was created by Jessica Nemy of California and is hanging on one of the walls in the Volunteer Relief Village. Posters and banners like the one above can be seen throughout Greensburg.
After meeting many individuals in Greensburg today, hearing their stories, and seeing the efforts of past and present volunteers, I realized that every individual in Greensburg, every individual who has ever been to Greensburg to help in the relief efforts, and every individual who will come to Greensburg to help are all heroes. Christopher Reeve said, “A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” Those individuals who I have met and have heard stories of are remarkable individuals who are going out of their own way to give one more smile to the people of Greensburg. From the inspirational stars and posters to the unseen deeds of volunteers and the conscious efforts of the people of Greensburg, Greensburg will never give up hope.
