Flood rescuer repeats father's heroic actions - CNN.com

Alone capped with fear this gentleman was in the same shoes his father was years prior, but had a different outcome this time around.  A young man of 37 years old never in his life posed as a saviour without selfishly thinking of himself and selflessly stepping up to save another human being, a woman that couldn't help but drown if he hadn't.  His father's fate from years prior was from another time when flood waters were high and it wasn't a car, it was a canoe, and it wasn't saving one person, but two and another drowning with him because of a frightened state of panic in which the lady he saved this time didn't freak out and kept her calm.

I think there are not enough stories of this heroism in this lifetime and if there were more selfless acts on this earth, the world might be a better and happier place to live.  This man the same age as I was months ago, I lost my father at a much older age, but, just the same every father is always a child's hero and when they are taken away from us it hurts just the same.  To me generations imitate generations, we are who we come from and how we are raised.  I am a Veteran just as my father.  And as this man a saviour to one soul as his father was to another few people.  It is just sad of his demise.

I feel strongly as to how we raise our kids is what makes tommorow's world a much more sensitive and selfless kind of world.  But the pay it forward theory has passed as people are to caught up in their own lives to realize that the world has still got people in it that are not as fortunate as the rest of us, therefore, rendering them selfish.  What will come of tommorow?  I work for a local Telephone Mobility Company as a customer service representative, and I have heard and seen some of the most selfish people of this nation and it makes me sick to think that one kid hasn't got his iphone as to where, another child has to worry of where they are going to sleep the next night.
