We're still coming to terms with the surreal scenes from Saturday's attempted assassination of President Trump at his rally in Butler, PA. A fraction of an inch closer and the assassin's bullet would have killed Donald Trump. We firmly believe it was Divine Providence (i.e., God) that kept President Trump alive. However, one brave man was not so blessed. His name is (was) Corey Comperatore, the former chief of the Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Company, a churchgoer, and the 50-year old dad of two daughters who were with him at the rally on Saturday. When the bullets began to fly and he understood what was happening, Mr. Comperatore instinctively did what we who are fathers hope we would do --- he moved to shield his family, his two daughters. He literally took a bullet for them, saving their lives but ending his. Corey Comperatore is a hero; he is the best of the best, and we remember him today.
