  **DEDICATION**
  
  This book is dedicated to the thousands of people that “give back” to others
  across the globe; people who encourage compassion for others in their work,
  sacrifice their own comforts, and even take personal risks to aid others. This
  country was founded and built on people fighting for every person’s rights,
  dignity, and pursuit of happiness.
