My Hero Alan Johnston

As many of you know, Alan Johnston, the BBC journalist, was just released after four months of captivity in Gaza. During his tenure there, he knew kidnapping was a real threat to him.  However, he soldiered on, knowing that the story of the Palestinians needed to be heard by the world-at-large.

I can say for sure, he is far braver than me.  I don't know if I would have done the same in his shoes. One never knows. But what I do know is that he is one of my heroes. Cheers, Alan. I am very happy you are free.
