My proudest moment was in the summer of 1972. I was a volunteer with the Southern Poverty Law organization working to register people to vote in rural East Texas– people who had been denied that right for over 100 years. One day I found myself in a situation where a nice man had a loaded double barreled shotgun pointed at my chest from a distance of about 12 feet. “We know who you are, we know where you live, and we want you to stop what you’re doing.” he said. I won’t go into the details of what followed, but it was scary.
But I did not stop what I was doing. His actions only confirmed the importance of what we were doing, and I finished in November, after the election. Finishing my allotted volunteer term was my proudest moment. -
Indeed, you did something that should have brought you pride!! Thank you for helping make things fair for ALL Americans, though you had threats against you.

Like they say; FREEDOM ISN'T FREE. Sometimes you have to defend it in order to keep it, or fight to even have it in the first place.

Glad to have you here brother!OchoZacho:
So mote it be brother!dennisking:so many people have done so many great things, it's hard to feel like I can compete.
Rudy, I would love to hear you elaborate on your Earthquake story.
For me, The day I got married, the birth of my 3 daughters and,the day I was raised to Master Mason after starting 6 months before were all big ones for me.
Taking the business that I work for and raising their profit 6 times over from when I started is also something I'm most proud of.
