According to Shillman, the Iranian American Political Action Committee (IAPAC) "maxed out" their contributions to Markey's senate campaign, and over the years IAPAC supporters also have contributed generously to Markey, a long-time congressman from Massachusetts who is now the Bay State's junior senator.
It has been said that we live in a hero-less era: a world where young people are entitled, and selfish, and unwilling to sacrifice for others; a world where even yesterday's heroes (Columbus, Washington, Lincoln, Martin Luther King) are criticized for their personal failings or, worse yet, for not comporting with modern notions of morality or "tolerance."
And, yet, just when some lament the absence of true heroes altogether, along come four Americans — Anthony Sadler, Spencer Stone, Alek Skarlatos, and Mark Moogalian — to remind us that heroism and courage are alive and well.
