The first is from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kshb.com\/news\/local-news\/army-veteran-delivers-baby-in-parking-lot\">Kansas City<\/a> where Vietnam veteran and Army medic, C.D. Donovan was visiting his wife in the hospital when he came across Diana and James Price who were expecting a new born baby but they were in the wrong place;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Diana and James Price headed to Research Medical Center about 8:20 Saturday morning, but when they arrived at the hospital&#8217;s entrance, the doctors and nurses were waiting in the emergency area.<\/p>\n<p>James ran into the hospital for help as Diane went into labor.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was scared, I just kept screaming,&#8221; Diane James shared.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, C.D. Donovan visits his wife at the hospital every morning. The former Army medic heard Diana screaming in the van and went to help. In a matter of minutes, he delivered Diana&#8217;s baby girl in the van and walked away. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The next story comes from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theindychannel.com\/news\/army-veteran-helps-pull-mother-and-daughter-to-safety-after-florida-grill-explosion\">Tampa<\/a> where a barbeque incident injured some folks, but luckily for them, Clay Nycz was nearby;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> Alaezea Longmire was having a cookout at her apartment complex&#8217;s pool with family and friends to celebrate her 17th birthday. The occasion soon turned frantic after Longmire&#8217;s mother, Dana Brezina, started putting food on the grill.<\/p>\n<p>Brezina and her 13-year-old daughter were both thrown a few feet back. <\/p>\n<p>Clay Nycz was heading to work but first stopped by a friend&#8217;s apartment right near the pool.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As soon as I walked in, I heard a blast just like I did overseas, straight like an IED,&#8221; Nycz said.<\/p>\n<p>An Army vet who served in Afghanistan, Nycz&#8217;s military training kicked in. He ran over to the pool area, jumped the fence and went into action.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Pulled everybody to the side, got everybody out of there,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Nycz carried Brezina and her daughter away from the explosion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Both of them were in shock. (I was) reassuring them they&#8217;re going to be OK,&#8221; Nycz said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I figured I&#8217;d tell about these stories because the media is too busy looking for crazed vets to put in the news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chief Tango sends a couple of links from local news stations where veterans in the right &hellip; <a title=\"Veterans saving the world\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=48943\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Veterans saving the world<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[226],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-veterans-in-the-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48943","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=48943"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48943\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=48943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=48943"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=48943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
