To the Editor:

I’m in awe of the students of Parkland, Fla. Still in their teens, they have shown us true heroism in the face of despair. Their parents must be so proud.

More, I think they woke up a nation to memories of what activism can attain for the greater good. These kids are asking for safety in their schools, thorough background checks and an end to assault rifles or weapons made for the military in the hands of civilians.
