I'm tired of the bad. I'm going to follow the advice of Mr. Rogers mother* and post stories of those who "rose to the occasion" while under fire. Literally. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends

Former Marine steals a truck, begins to evacuate wounded. Makes several trips.
"It was still quite scary, but we just knew they had to get to the hospital immediately," Winston said. "No ambulances were immediately available. There was far too many causalities for anyone to handle. Probably one of the hardest parts was leaving everyone behind that I couldn't fit in who were still critical injured."

Does this guy count? Because I think this guy counts. =D

Yep, I forgot about him. He definitely counts. "The last great act of defiance."

If that photo doesn't scream 'Murica! I don't know what does. Whoever is the brand on that can ought to sponsor him. Seems like he has been shot at before is my guess.

There is another story out there about one of the victims who didn't make it. Sounded like she had been one of the people loaded up in that truck. Pretty crazy how a lot of these random peoples stories now intertwine from things like this and everyone helping.

one of them was from Ruthin, which is about ten miles from where I grew up and must surely be the place that is the most opposite to Las Vegas in the western world
respect to him, and all of them
