@Kimberly2024USA @HealthRanger Feel free to follow up on your research about that story— driver has been charged. It wasnt the Tesla, it was the driver.

To date, I have never read another Medal Of Honor citation like this.
What a human. Read this and tell me if you ever have?

Donald Gilbert Cook, serving with the Naval Advisor Group, U.S. Military Assistance Command, USMC, was interned as a Prisoner of War by the Viet Cong in the Republic of Vietnam during the period from 31 December 1964 to 8 December 1967.

Despite the fact that by so doing he would bring about harsher treatment for himself, Colonel (then Captain) Cook established himself as the senior prisoner, even though in actuality he was not.

Repeatedly assuming more than his share of the manual labor in order that the other Prisoners of War could improve the state of their health, Col. Cook willingly and unselfishly put the interests of his comrades before that of his own well-being and, eventually, his life.

Giving more needy men his medicine and drug allowance while constantly nursing them, he risked infection from contagious diseases while in a rapidly deteriorating state of health.

This unselfish and exemplary conduct, coupled with his refusal to stray even the slightest from the U.S. Military Code of Conduct, earned him the deepest respect from not only his fellow prisoners, but some of his captors as well.

Rather than negotiate for his own release or better treatment, Col. Cook steadfastly frustrated attempts by the Viet Cong to break his indomitable spirit, and passed this same resolve on to the men with whose well-being he so closely associated himself.

Knowing his refusals would prevent his release prior to the end of the war, and also knowing his chances for prolonged survival would be small in the event of continued refusal, he chose nevertheless to adhere to the U.S. Military Code of Conduct - far above that which could be expected.

Colonel Cook, a son of Brooklyn, died on December 8, 1967 in a jungle Viet Cong Prisoner of War camp in the Republic of Vietnam.

His remains were never recovered.

For his enduring personal valor and exceptional spirit of loyalty in the face of almost certain death, Donald Gilbert Cook, a son of Brooklyn, was posthumously awarded the Medal Of Honor. He is the only Marine in history to receive it as a Prisoner of War.

Donald, we honor you.
Please honor this amazing Man by reposting so he is not forgotten
Thank you

This is an old Dear Abby story about how a couple stopped their friends from dropping by at dinner time. They put the dishes on the floor, the dog licked them clean and then they returned the dishes to the cupboards.

The visiting couple never returned at meal times and they all lived happily ever after.

@KyleSpeaker @wil_da_beast630 You assume that people who really need the money are out and about.

[Lisa Walker @LisaNWalker]

@AfterDinnerCo @wil_da_beast630 Churches as charitable organizations that pay no taxes.

@imetzach @elonmusk @mattvanswol Especially because they get a tax break based on your donations and you do not. That’s why businesses do that—for the tax break.
