A collection of 5 feature articles that were published in newspapers, magazines, and a book, Fenway, Football, Heroes, and God showcase ordinary people whose experiences and accomplishments are remarkable. Like so many other Americans who, often anonymously, continue to represent the best our country has to offer, they are our relatives, friends, and neighbors. And they continue to make us great with their generous acts of kindness, with their daily pursuit of excellence in their jobs, with their brave sacrifices to protect us all from our enemies, and with their faith. These are the stories of a selfless young boy, an NFL Scout, a war hero, a father of 13 who experienced a miracle, and a brother who perseveres after a transplant operation.
