Applying American Values: You apply the values studied by nominating to the Values and Service Hall of Fame, an individual from your personal life who, in your opinion, exemplifies them. Throughout history, there have been women and men who exhibited exemplary behavior. We often look to famous people as role models and build statues or post plaques in their honor. Life is, however, full of often unheralded lives that have demonstrated positive values and engaged citizenship. Whether its Miguel Keith, an 18-year-old spanic Marine from Omaha who was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for bravery in combat, or the Civil Rights leader and Nebraska Hall of Fame member, Standing Bear, or perhaps someone you know, there are many role models in society.
