Great Story

Post by clovishound » Tue May 29, 2018 1:02 pm

Saw a story in the news about a fan at a baseball game in Georgia. There was a JROTC member standing at attention at an empty seat reserved to honor POWs and MIAs. It was raining and a fan held an umbrella over the young man to shield him from the rain while standing at attention.

Here's a link to the story.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.
