Clara Barton — The Angel of the Pitch

Before the flares of the stadium lit the night, I walked the dark fields of the Civil War, tending to the fallen with a spirit that would not break. I founded the American Red Cross on the principle that no one is left behind. Today, that same steel resides in the American defense. When the USMNT stands resolute against a relentless attack, they carry my flame—the unwavering grit to endure, to protect the goal at all costs, and to turn a desperate struggle into a triumph of the human spirit.
