    Default The heart of a hero

    I just wanted to share this story. This kid is basically my nephew, not by blood but my sister in law and brother in law took him in and let him stay at their house through high school and he has been considered a part of the family ever since.

    That is awesome. What a terrific story; and what a great attitude. He's the sort of young person that gives you hope for the future.

    I hope he recovers quickly! tell him thank you for his service and sacrifice and even though it may not seem like it at times, there are lots of us out there who truly appreciate it!

    Another straight up, genuine, Grade "A" American Hero. I'm simply in awe of Ryan and all of the others just like him who silently serve our country every day.

    Thanks, Ryan, for helping to provide the freedoms that I enjoy.

    I was sorry to read your nephew lost his leg but Bravo Zulu for his courage and his attitude. We need more Americans like him.
