About a year or two ago I wrote a article about my Great Uncle who helped out a fellow airman in trouble. I was contacted by the son of the airman that my Great Uncle saved. As I was contacting the family I was thinking about how often the aftermath of a good deed goes unknown. This make only worse when the person that performed the deed is modest. It just seems that all we see today is tragic events and the aftermath that follow. Rarely to we see the results of these good deeds. So when I got this news I was excited to share this news with family, figurative and literally.
Remembering the Past: Follow up.
Good to hear, thanks for posting.
Sporkmaster…..very glad you provided the original link to your post since I missed this story when originally posted.
A great story about a couple of great men.
Thanks for sharing a great story and your right, the guys keep it quiet, it’s all part of their job as soldiers.
Generally speaking, the words modest and humble both reflect the personality of one who says little about such good deeds. Your Great Uncle should make you proud, as well as anyone else who knew him.
