In case you missed it…
On Sunday, an 8-kilometer charity race was held in
California for the Pat Tillman Foundation.
Pat Tillman was a high school football player who rose to
play on the collegiate level, with Arizona State, and went on to the NFL with
the Arizona Cardinals. Shortly after 9/11, he quit football to become an Army
Ranger, serving several tours before being killed in Afghanistan in 2004.
At the race Sunday, 95-year-old Joe Bell, a World War II
veteran, donned his uniform and walked out to the sidewalk to cheer on and show
support for the participants of the race. One by one, nearly half of the
runners detoured to run by Joe, shaking his hand, and thanking him for his
service to our country.
Good people still exist. And Mr. Bell is a testament to the
name The Greatest Generation.
