We have a tendency to toss around the word courage pretty cavalierly these days.

Only these came at a very special athletic event. No, not a basketball or fooball game on his school's Allentown campus.
Foley was part of the medical team that was on hand to assist runners at the Boston Marathon. In the blink of an eye, his job took on a whole new meaning.
It defines courage.
