Perhaps mere survival isn't the objective of life. Perhaps some thrive amidst the burden of challenges, striving ahead with tenacity, vision, and hope.

The Cowards Stayed Home is an homage to the legacy of the Sorbel Family, whose roots traversed frozen tundras and vast oceans to land in the American Midwest. It is among this backdrop that Randy Sorbel served life with an ideal higher than survival, in service to his country, his community, and ultimately, to the belief that prosperity is the true legacy of life.
