A Beacon of Justice

Real life heroes are hard to find, but in my old neighborhood where I spent the first fifteen years. One neighbor stands out as A Beacon of Justice. His name is Mr. Cardy and he is a volunteer for the Orange County Sheriff's Patrol. He has a broad territory to patrol and reports trouble ,so the real police can take care of the problem. Thanks to Mr. Cardy, the streets are a lot safer. He reports drug deals, fights, or whatever else doesn't seem right in the neighborhood. Mr. Cardy is retired and lost his eldest son five years ago to an accident involving a semi. His son was hit and killed by a semi in Indiana. However, Mr. Cardy has found his focus for himself and for the people in his neighborhood. He takes his volunteer work seriously. The irony of this hero is he use to be a rebel years ago, but with time he has emerged into a leader of good deeds.
