Another Hero

A suicidal women falls 30 feet only to survive. The reason she survived? A man concerned for her life risked his own by taking the impact.

Suicide is certainly a taboo topic. No one should ever want to take their own life, even when they are so down on their luck. I appreciate this man's heroism.

According to the doctor (via another person):

With two black, swollen eyes, Smith resembles a prize fighter, Katchisin said.

Initial surgeries cleaned out bone fragments, and plates and screws were inserted, he said.

The surgeon told family members that despite doing thousands of operations, he's never seen anyone who lived after such severe injuries, Katchisin said.

Smith will need "multiple surgeries, so they cannot cast him yet," the uncle said. ". . . It's going to be a slow process. There's only so much they can do at a time.


Maybe there is someone looking out for us. Hoping the young lady gets the help she needs and sees this as a sign that there is someone out there who does care.

A Hero in More Ways Than One...

Spec. Albert Godding saves his best friend on the "battlefield." This didn't take place on the war front. This took place in an Army barracks where he and Spec. Joe Sanders room together.

I couldn't tell you about the struggles these young men deal with each and every day overseas. It has to be tough. Away from home, family, and friends, the day-to-day thinking you may never be home again plays on these fine young men and women's minds.

Godding is a hero and a great friend. He went beyond what a normal friend would do to make sure his friend, Sanders, would not take his own life.
