🚨WOW!!!
A college student is being praised as a HERO after she saw 3 little girls drowning in Lake Washington, jumped in, and saved ALL THREE GIRLS.
The last one was UNCONSCIOUS, underwater, tangled in a rope, only her hair was still floating.
All 3 SURVIVED!!!! ❤️
Her name is Lillie Vehling.
She is an engineering student at UC Davis and an attacker on the women's water polo team.
She was in Seattle for a summer internship and went to Seafair for the very first time, sitting at Genesee Park waiting on the Blue Angels with a book in her hands.
Then she scanned the water.
Three girls were out past the buoy line, bobbing, screaming, going under. She is a certified lifeguard who started her own swim lesson program, so she knew exactly what she was looking at.
One of the girls was pushing the other two under just to get a breath.
That is when she went in.
She grabbed that girl first, to stop her from taking the other two down with her. Got her to shallow water. Went back for the second one.
Then she went back a third time.
By then the third girl was already gone under.
Lillie: "I just saw her black hair in the water barely floating."
The child was unconscious AND tangled in the rope of a buoy she had been clawing at to save her own life.
Lillie got an arm under her, lifted her head out of the water, and hauled her to shore.
The little girl coughed up the lake and came back.
Seattle Fire paramedics met them on the beach. One girl went to Seattle Children's Hospital in stable condition.
All three lived.
Seafair's president found her that same day. Her first question was whether Lillie was okay. Her second was whether she could give her a hug.
That night they brought her to the gala and knighted her "Lady Guardian of Lake Washington."
Admirals lined up to meet her.
And Lillie? She is chasing a career in the nuclear Navy.
Seafair's president says she hopes the next time Lillie comes back to that lake, it is in a Blue Angels cockpit.
"To save three people, I didn't think twice about myself."
GOD BLESS Lillie Vehling, and GOD BLESS the firefighter who raised her.
THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Full circle moment for me this week
2014: Avatar Fan art while learning digital painting during University
2020: Revisited to see the progression
2026: ..and finally, my official artwork in Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender
12 years of consistent practise had paid off!
🇺🇸Los progres del lobby LGBTQI están QUEMANDO las camisetas de la jugadora de baloncesto Sophie Cunningham, luego de que ella dijera que los hombres no deben competir en deportes femeninos.
A pesar de eso, ella reafirma su postura:
“Nunca dije que odio a nadie. Extiendo amor… pero con amor va la VERDAD. Quiero proteger a las niñas en el vestuario y en el deporte. ¡No deben competir contra hombres biológicos!”.
🚨WOW!!!
Firefighters and college football players showed up to a Tennessee senior home...to pull grandmas and grandpas down a MASSIVE slip 'n slide!!!
Seniors with dementia and Parkinson's laughed like little kids again.
This is the annual "Ride 'n Slide" at Adams Place in Murfreesboro, Tennessee where a giant tarp is stretched across the lawn and the Murfreesboro Fire Department keeps it soaked and lifts residents safely on and off.
The Middle Tennessee State football team spent their day pulling grandmas across the water on inner tubes and cheering them on every single ride.
One resident, Mike Mitchell, an Army veteran and a retired minister who preached for SIXTY YEARS, talked himself into it right there on the lawn.
One grandma went down FOUR times and came up smiling saying, "Well that was fast!"
Organizers say the residents with dementia and Parkinson's light up brightest of all.
For one afternoon, no diagnoses, no age, just water, laughter, and people cheering your name.
That's so amazing...
GOD BLESS THESE PEOPLE!!!! 🇺🇸
In an era where real human-made art and animation is at serious risk I beg folks to please support this gorgeously crafted film. Those folks have been through hell to finally get it made and out there and they deserve success.
They left home as boys 8 decades ago to go out and save the world. Last night they sat at the WWII Memorial together and celebrated their country's 250th. Still heroic.
🔥 HELL YEAH! A pilot just used his airplane to draw a USA 250th banner using his flight path
It took him over FIVE HOURS of flying time to do this.
What a PATRIOT! 🇺🇸
To celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence, Tokyo Tower, Rainbow Bridge, and the Tokyo Aqua Symphony will be illuminated in red, white, and blue on July 4th.
Maria Zhang was absolutely perfect as Suki. She was so beautiful, and I was genuinely so happy every time she appeared on screen. She captured Suki’s confidence, strength, and kindness so naturally. Every scene with her was a joy to watch, and she did an incredible job. 💙
