I stand humbled.

I have nothing I can add to this... all I can add, is the link to SNOPES. Take the time to read it, and watch the video at the end.

Make sure to watch the video.

There is a bulletin board somewhere here in Greenville I've seen with these two. It is one of those inspirational deals talking about fortitude or something.

Cool to hear a little more about these two. Excellent story and even better message - you can do anything you set your mind to....
