People may snicker at the ceaseless “See-Something, Say-Something” reminders on New York City subways, but Lance Orton dispenses that proactive advice to everyone as a result of the foiled Times Square bombing in May. Orton, a Vietnam veteran and T-shirt vendor in one of the city’s most visited, tourist-friendly spots, alerted police of a suspicious vehicle on 45th Street. Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistani-born U.S. citizen, left an SUV packed with explosives intending to kill scores of pedestrians. Orton’s decision prevented a tragedy, kicked off the manhunt that nabbed Shahzad, and reminded Americans that every citizen plays a role in the war on terror, and that one person can make a difference.
