Quiet benefactors, the saints of our time.

Kid's father was killed in the line of duty. A stranger outbids him at public auction for his father's patrol car, then hands him the keys and declines publicity for a genuinely unselfish act of kindness.

I may not have much to offer, but if this guy is ever in Lubbock, TX, and finds himself in need of a room, a ride, or a meal, my door is open and screw anyone who has a problem with it.

Also, a Thank You to Fitz for posting the link to Facebook.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Only the dead have seen the end of war!
