Black EMT Refuses To Do CPR on Black Baby - Where's The Outrage

The EMT (who was initially given a 29 day suspension) was quoted as having said she PARKED on the next street, REFUSED to help because "you know how these families get." After the attention the news brought to the situation, she was FINALLY fired. Where is Al Sharpton? Why is the NATIONAL media not reporting this? Imagine is a white EMS person had refused CPR on a black baby. On so many levels, this is a huge symptom of everything wrong with America - starting with dividing us into groups/against each other, entitlement (I aint gotta DO that!). I truly hope the cops in Detroit park their car a block away from Ann Marie Thomas's house when she calls 911 to report the family of the dead baby trying to break down her door.

The Truth About Police Brutality

This is a great video. I posted this thinking of my friends who are not in EMS or Law Enforcement. All my friends know is the news reports about the 1% of cops and not the 99% who are underpaid, overworked, rarely get good sleep, and bounce between people who hate them because they chose to make a difference and people who call them because they can't figure out how to work their remote control garage door opener.

Honor Flight - The Most Uplifting Experience of My Life

WWII Vet Salutes Crowd at St. Kevin Parish, Springfield PA
 On May 31 - we drove to St. Kevin's Parish in Springfield to welcome home a group of WWII Veterans who had just experienced the Honor Flight. It was one of the most uplifting, emotional, event I've ever been to. From the volunteers to the people who gathered to greet the returning Vets, everyone was extremely kind. We must never forget, and we should continue to respect our men and women in the military. Without them, we would have nothing. You can attend an honor flight event (it's free!) - just check their schedule online. Honor Flight is only doing this until they've flown all the Vets to the Memorial in Washington DC. If you can't attend, you can always watch the great documentary, Honor Flight The Movie  about how it went from an idea to a reality. It's a wonderful, inspiring, movie. Available to buy or rent on the usual suspects (Amazon) and sometimes Netflix. 

Here are some pictures from our great day. So honored to have been there.
An Honor Flight Vet becomes emotional.

I'd rather have my picture taken with this Hero than I would Mark Walhberg!

The picture below is of Joe Demler WWII POW who withered away to 70 pounds after he was captured. His story is one of many inspiring stories featured in Honor Flight the Movie. His motto in life: Every Day Is A Bonus!
