From high on a perch above the commoner comes forth the compassion of a self engrandized liberal who hates the military and those who serve, hates the individual who strives to make his life better, for better or worse but loves to show the non compassionate of the system now controlled by thier own......this cant be right, wait it’s Bushes fault
Heavenly Father why? Why would a veteran have to live lonely and poverty stricken for all these years? What about providing for him out of your riches?
The “noble” bum. Limousine liberals are always telling us “lesser beings” that we should aspire to be like them.
C’mon, CW. It’s a touching story of humanity. The poor guy had a rough life - abandoned by father, mother putting him in an orphanage with his siblings, mother remarried and the stepfather beat the kids, goes to war in Europe in WW II and gets injured, comes home a wreck, becomes a bum, and spends 60 or 70 years on the streets.
In the end, some caring people at the hospital befriend him, bring him out of a 70 year shell, and he brings some joy to people and kids around him.
How can you not read that and reflect on your own gifts in life and the more unfortunate around us?
Well, I thought it was/is a beautiful story.
Uh... sounds to me like his heart gave out because he was 90.
