Your Weekend Hero Story: Scuba Diver Saves Fish, Become Best Friends Forever
by Tammy on July 30, 2017Absolutely magnificent. When your trust of humanity wanes, this can be your reminder video about who we are, and who we should aspire to be. Via Nerdist. One day about 25 years ago, Japenese scuba diver Hiroyuki Arakawa was in the depths of Hasama Underwater Park in Tateyama, Japan when he spotted Yoriko, an Asian sheepshead wrasse that looked like it was hurt. So he started taking care of the fish by feeding it crabs and nursing it back to health. 25 years later, they’ve seen each other virtually every day and they’ve forged a pretty special bond. “I’d say we understand each other,” Arakawa said. “Not that we can talk to each other, but it just happened naturally.

by Tammy on July 2, 2017Nice. A hero being a hero. Via Fox News. An Army veteran who served his country in Vietnam and Saudi Arabia also contributed in a spectacular way to his adopted home state of Oklahoma.

How Portland Can Honor Stabbed Heroes
by Tammy on June 1, 2017Heroes Taliesin Myrddin Namkai Meche, Rick Best (both killed) and Micah David-Cole Fletcher. An excellent editorial from USA Today. Click through and read the whole thing. Heroism is instinctive, an action taken in a split second of crisis to save a life, defend deeply held values, or simply to stand up for what’s right. Such heroism was on display last week in Portland, Ore., when the loud, ugly voice of hate drew three men to intervene as Jeremy Joseph Christian, 35, ranted and verbally abused two teenage girls, one of them wearing a Muslim head scarf. The three men tried to calm the situation on the light-rail commuter train while Christian spewed his bile about blacks and Muslims. Tragically, Christian...

Mary Tyler Moore, TV Icon, Dies at 80
by Tammy on January 25, 2017Loved by everyone, I think I can speak for those of us with television being our primary influence as we grew up: I’m grateful I was able to watch a show like “Mary Tyler Moore” in the 1970s, featuring a single working woman in a field dominated by men. She reflected both strength and vulnerability, and also modeled how to be a decent person and good friend. In the 1970s, that sort of imagery was rare. For many, you were able to rely on your family to show you what the possibilities were; I was alone most of the time, with television as the major influence. I can’t tell you how grateful I am that I grew up at a...

At Forum, Hillary Forgets Benghazi, Claims ‘We Did Not Not Lose a Single American’ in Libya
by Tammy on September 7, 2016Four men have no comment. Glossing over the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi that claimed the lives of four U.S. diplomats, Hillary Clinton on Wednesday night claimed that “we did not lose a single American” due to military intervention in Libya. Speaking at a veterans’ forum hosted by NBC News, the former secretary of state said she stands by the 2011 decision to take action in Libya and that America suffered no casualties. “When [former Libyan leader Moammar] Gadhafi was threatening to massacre his population, I put together a coalition that included NATO, included the Arab League, and we were able to save lives. We did not lose a single American in that action,” she said. “And I think taking...
