Thank you very much oldfriend, my little duty pales so much compared to the service of our troops fighting for our freedom and way of life.

I was so impressed and moved when the President introduced the gentleman who saved the baby on the train tracks and how the gentleman refused to call himself a hero because he thinks that his action was nothing compared to the sacrifice of our troops who are fighting for our freedom. It was very moving.

It happened here in NY and he was on the news a lot. Every time I saw the man I found myself feeling so very proud of him. Everything about him, made him a great American!

The split second decision he made saved the life of that young man. And when the young man's father was thanking him.....he began to cry and the hero leaned over and kissed the man on the side of his head like you would a family member. It was so touching. The hero has a soul that is straight from heaven.

He saved a young man on the train tracks but either way he's a hero and I was glad he was there.
