Franco Harris: We Are In This Together

“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.” --Buddha

In the first year or so after the Sandusky scandal broke, we continuously faced setback after setback in our quest for the Truth and during that time the media had their own agenda and created a false narrative about Penn State and Joe Paterno that still exists today. This false narrative created fear and people distanced themselves from Joe and Penn State.
However, this past Saturday night Joe Paterno was inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame. I believe this is the first honor bestowed upon Joe since the scandal. Jay Paterno accepted this honor on behalf of his father and the Paterno family. He gave an amazing speech that I can only describe as a “moment of Truth” for the world to hear.

Joe told us to find the Truth. I know it’s been tough and we have faced many difficult challenges, but we won’t give up, we will keep seeking the Truth.
We are not there yet, but this honor shows that we are moving forward and that our path to the Truth is having an impact. “Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.”

We want people to know that this has never been about football. This is beyond football. This is about who WE ARE. It’s what we do that defines us.

Penn State is our second home. Joe Paterno is our family.

WE ARE in this together.

  1. When making a news blog, you on a key level need to focus on get-together illuminating, reliable sources that will be the establishment of your information. Without strong sources, the chances of productive blogging become coherently minute and humbler. mediosindependientes This is the reason it is on a particularly basic level basic that you pick sources that are remarkable, at any rate ones that will show the most present and up to the minute information that is open for the news type you plan on explaining. It is exceedingly understood that when you find your sources, you set up to get their RSS channels so you never chaos up an opportunity to vitalize your blog.
