The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

A reminder that, despite all the trouble in the world . . .
. . . there are still some very good people in it.
An emphatic "Well done!" to everyone who made a young man's dream come true. I suspect that somewhere, the shade of the late 1st Lt. Jonathan Rozier is smiling.
There are a LOT of good people in the world. For all the tragedy, just look at the human response. Not the government response. Look at all the people who show up to rescue flood victims. Look at all the volunteers who months later are still showing up to clean up hurricane debris. Quiet. No tasking for anything. Just doing. There are a LOT of them, and the lack of visibility for them is tragic.
Thanks for sharing the clip - and I agree that there are a ton of good people that get no press other than occasional bits like this - doesn't fit the progressive narrative of only the government being a force for good

Unfortunately, the uploader has not made the video available to be watched here in Oz.
ReplyDeleteSad, as I would like to see it.
