    Some giant 6’5” football player at Rutgers New Brunswick in 2010 was walking by in a snowstorm, saw us trying desperately to free housemates car from an icey ditch, he stopped, helped us push, immediately the car came out the ditch. That dude made it seem extremely easy, and he was nice

They were married 71 years. His memorial service was this past Monday and it was a very touching Military service done by 2 Navy officers. It was beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes as I could definitely see my Uncle Joe going to the rescue with these Marines to help someone in distress. Beautiful story.

    Leave no man (or woman) behind. Words indeed for ALL of us to live by - not just a Marine or military motto and mission. As the one Marine said quite well, this is what humanity's life purpose is. Sad that in our culture these events are so rare that they are celebrated. Again, as these Marines model in their actions, it is not for recognition or honor or glory that they leave no-one behind thus it does not and should not matter their names nor any badges on their chests. Life lessons to live by...

      Re watch the segment. The weather forecast was 100% wrong. Plus she didn't see the flooded roadway meaning no matter how hard she hit the brakes, the vehicle would not have stopped in time because the speed limit on the ramp is 55mph. Now factor in the wet roads, that adds to the stopping distance
