Default Today I Met A Real Hero

Sometimes we take life for granted and this morning was no different. I played pickleball until about 10am, then, a small group of friends and I went to Bob Evans for breakfast. When finished we headed for the cashier to pay and leave. When I got to the front of the restaurant, there, in his wheel chair, was one Bryan Anderson, who is chronicled on the front page of the Local section of The Daily Sun. Being that I had earlier read the article, I was well aware of his story. I immediately approached him a explained how honored I was to meet someone as inspiring as he and thanked him for his sacrifices. His effervescent smile and attitude makes one proud be around him; if only for a short time. In my remaining years, I will never meet someone as heroic and inspiring as Bryan; unless it's another injured war vet. He is the spokesperson for "USA Cares" for which I intend to find out how to contribute to their cause. I hope some of you out there get the same chance to meet him while he is here. He is speaking to a sold out house at Colony Cottage Recreation Center this evening. He will change your life too.
