To be brave often comes with a price. Wednesday, we talked about what it takes to be courageous — the determination, the perseverance of it all. Do we all have courage? Or, are we awarded it like the badge of honors given to military folk? Is courage merely the average of our cowardice and our reckless abandon?

We hit the mall at Pierce College and asked students what they would do if they had all of the courage in the world. In studio, we were joined by Matt Johnson, United States Navy Hospital Corpsman. Johnson became a corpsman and is pursuing a career in law enforcement even though he is partially color blind.
