What happens after unsung heroes are sung?

Do they stop being important? Can they continue to be sung?

It’s occurred to me that there are many unsung heroes, but that once they’ve received recognition, they tend to fall away from our attention spans and our radars – even though they are the type of people who will continue to go on and do good things.

So let’s remember them, again and again. And celebrate their ongoing good deeds and spirit. They are no less deserved, just because they’ve received one pat on the back.

Good people should be put on a pedestal or have a spotlight shone on them many times (whether they want to or not). Our community needs to respect, learn and bring them close. Their example is the standard for our next generation (and current generation).

So, warm up your vocals, take a sip of soothing tea, gargle some calming fluid and sing AGAIN loud and proud for our heroes, positive leaders, and kind and selfless companions who have already been recognised, but need our ongoing thanks.

Thank you sung heroes (and sorry that I’m a little out of tune and off-key)!
