Renaissance Men of Our Time:

I have often thought about what constitutes a Renaissance man in this day and age. The creativity we attain is largely dependent on how well we become and accept such figures. While people may believe that these individuals need to be elegant and ornate, I believe they are much simpler. I believe that the common man can be a Renaissance man today. I would like to suggest that some of these figures are our military men and women today. They are smart, strong, clean cut, and overall multifaceted figures in society. They fight for our liberty and bring honor to the United States. I have two of these men in my family. My cousins Karl and Craig are such figures. They have taken time in their lives to fight for liberty and are now pursuing their education. 

They are an inspiration for creativity. Without the freedom that we have, we would not be able to innovate and progress the way that we have. Security is something that accelerates creativity. It allows us the opportunity of time and resources that we take for granted. We owe so much to these men and women who have sacrificed so much for us. We should also be grateful to their families for the support the give to our soldiers.
