Remembering those who made a difference.

I realize memorial day was yesterday but I wanted to start a thread for those who have passed on and left a special mark on our individual lives or the world at large (or both). You can post stories of you and yours or of little-known inventors and pioneers of various fields who you believe deserve to have their stories told.

I will start off with a couple of videos which portray the story of a man who is presently beginning to gain the recognition and prestige which he should have garnered more of in his lifetime. The man is Nikola Tesla and his contributions to humanity are innumerable.

However, as I stated before, you should post any and all stories of others you believed in or have come to admire. These can be family, friends, neighbors or anyone else you feel compelled to share with the world.

I admre and respect every fallen hero, all those men and women who give their lives for others

I would add:

J F Kennedy - murdered by?

Martin Luther King - murdered by?

Bob Marley - murdered by?

John Lennon - murdered by?

Numerous whistleblowers - murdered by?

Arie M. DeGeus, inventor of free energy battery - suspicious death, murdered?

And MANY, MANY more.

Thanks for the contributions everyone, glad you could share.

I admire all good people that has lived by their values and died by their values.

Never lie, especially to yourself.
