Great story. Did not know all of this. Great stuff and quite the hero all.

However, the author is wrong in his statement taht there is not one hero today in all of this. I believe there are plenty, and they are the folks who have stayed to help "turn the ship around", who have scarificed their jobs so someone else could keep their's, they are the small factory owners and managers who have done everything they can to keep each and every employee on the payroll, they are the shop owners who have provided free or reduced items to people in need, they are the many folks who have donated their time and money to volunteer to help at food banks, placement centers, they are the corp. CEO's who have decided to hire in the face of lowering revenue, it is the SallieMae CEO who has made the decision to bring back 2000 + jobs from overseas, and I could go on and on. Just because these folks do naot have "names" in the papers, does not mean that they can not be called a hero.

This great nation of ours will climb out of this recession, as it has every other recession, by the actions of its citizens and business leaders, not because the governament prints more and more money or tries to nationalize industry. This great nation of ours will climb out of the recession because of everyday people just like the band members of the Titanic doing all they can to "calm" the situation.
