As they're being told, we're pointing to some of the stories when a gunman opened fire on July 20 at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo. . As you see others, please share the links in the comment threads.
Today, we also want to single out :
"Inside the theater, some froze and many ran. They were human. There is no disgrace in that.
"But sitting amid the crowd, Jon Blunk did not freeze, and he did not run. Instead, he quickly pushed his girlfriend to the ground — to safety — then shielded her from bullets that took his life but not hers. Across the theater, others — Matt McQuinn, John Larimer, Jesse Childress and more — were just as selfless.
"Even as the gunman continued to shoot, even as fear was at its strongest, the theater was awash in courage."
That's how in the package sums up the stories of courage and bravery from that awful night. Some of the other pieces of that package:
