Last Saturday morning just down the street from our home another home went down in flames. The family was still sleeping upstairs and the fire originated downstairs. The parents managed barely to escape, but three of their children were trapped and were afraid to jump and instead ran through the fire and were severely burned. It was horrific. The children were taken to the local hospital and were quickly air-lifted to larger hospitals. The 11 yr old boy died that evening and the 26 year old daughter passed away the next day. The other boy (I think about 14) remains in the hospital with severe burns and is clinging to life.

The two communities Point Pleasant, WV and Gallipolis, OH which lie across the Ohio River from one another immediately, upon hearing of the tragedy, jumped into action. I have never seen so many people trying to find some way to help. The Smith family is loved and respected in both communities because of their participation in local sports and music. They have literally lost everything,but the outpouring of love and support from these communities has been a valuable lesson to all of us. Watch the You Tube video and I hope you will help me make it go viral. Americans need to see the real America.

This is the America Obama and Schumer don’t know. They think that the only help in a crisis is to wait for government bureaucrats to shuffle several dozen government forms through the long pipeline and see if there is anything some agency can do.

That has never been the American way. Family, neighbors and church members have always been the mainstays of our way of life.

This is such a moving video. I’ve only seen about the first half, but I’m looking forward to seeing the rest when my chores are done.
