A story of Thanks and Giving

[Johnly]

Came across this story and even though the Gofundme campaign has closed, I thought it was worth sharing.
Besides the story itself, I think it indicates how we have become so overwhelmed with the “If it bleeds, it leads” daily news reporting style. People are yearning for a stories involving acts of selfless heartfelt kindness and caring, and then respond accordingly when they learn of them.

Happy Thanksgiving

John

Great story, thanks for sharing. America desperately needs to honor our vets. All of them.
