Honor runs through the veins of our ancestors like fire that never burned out. They tilled the soil with bare hands, carried traditions through famine and feast, and spoke their truths even when silence was safer. I think of them each time I kneel to tie my child’s shoes, cook from old recipes, or tell the stories that shaped us. Honor is not medals or applause; it is remembering where we came from, and walking forward in a way that would make those before us proud.
