“HONOR”

HONOR 

We honor those who have gone before us. 

We honor those who contributed something worthy to be remembered, to the better good. Their lives, unselfish, true, and good. 

Some people conduct their business with honor. They live lives of integrity. They are truthful, honest, helpful, kind, and constructive.  A person of honor will choose to do the right thing even when it costs. Honor adds value to a name. Character speaks loudly.
