For me, I believe it was 1978. Yankee Stadium. Ron Guidry tied the then American League record with 18 Ks. I drank too much soda and threw up. But it was fun.

🚨#BREAKING: A police officer in Phoenix has rented out an ENTIRE 144-SEAT MOVIE THEATER for over 100 middle schoolers after their end-of-year field trip fell through, so they could see Toy Story 5.

When they got there, he realized many couldn't afford popcorn or drinks...

..so he bought EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM popcorn, candy, and a drink too.

His name is Sean Reavies,

For many kids, it was their first time ever inside of a movie theater in their lives.

When the kids asked how they could pay him back, he told them:

"As you get older in life, help other people. As a payback to me. Would you do that? That's all I ask of you."

MORE OF THIS!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Meet Tsunami.

Tsunami is a nine year old Border Collie. His final search and rescue mission followed two powerful earthquakes that struck Venezuela just 39 seconds apart on June 24. The magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 quakes caused nearly 800 buildings to collapse trapping many people under rubble made of concrete and steel. By June 29 the death toll had climbed to at least 1719.

Working with his handler Jorge Beens Tsunami navigated unstable debris piles in search of survivors. His exceptional sense of smell allowed him to detect faint human scents carried in tiny plumes through cracks in the wreckage. Upon locating someone he would bark or assume a specific trained alert posture to guide rescue teams to the most promising areas.

According to K SAR ECID Tsunami contributed to the rescue of at least 13 people during this deployment.

His background makes this accomplishment even more inspiring. Originally rescued from abuse and abandonment on the streets of Caracas Tsunami caught the attention of Beens who recognized his sharp intelligence and strong natural tracking instincts. Beens adopted him and provided specialized training for urban search and rescue operations.

Throughout his career Tsunami supported response efforts after major earthquakes in Turkey and Syria as well as landslide incidents in Venezuela.

This latest mission stood apart from the rest. After years of demanding deployments and extensive work in hazardous ruins Venezuelan authorities and his handler designated it as Tsunamis final official operation before retirement.

Sometimes the animals we rescue go on to rescue us in return.

On September 11, 2001, Todd Beamer knew he was unlikely to survive.

He was 32 years old, the father of two young sons, and his wife, Lisa, was pregnant with their daughter.

After four hijackers seized control of United Airlines Flight 93, Beamer reached an Airfone and spoke with GTE supervisor Lisa Jefferson.

As passengers learned that other hijacked planes had already struck the World Trade Center and the The Pentagon, they realized their own aircraft was likely being used as a weapon.

Beamer and several other passengers—including Tom Burnett, Mark Bingham, and Jeremy Glick—decided to fight back.

Before they acted, Beamer prayed the Lord’s Prayer with Jefferson.

Then he said the words that would become a symbol of courage:

“Are you guys ready? Okay. Let’s roll.”

Minutes later, at 10:03 a.m., Flight 93 crashed into a field near Shanksville. All 40 passengers and crew, along with the four hijackers, were killed.

The aircraft never reached its intended target, believed by investigators to have been either the U.S. Capitol or the White House.

Today, the Flight 93 National Memorial stands in honor of the passengers and crew whose extraordinary courage helped prevent an even greater tragedy.

Some heroes wear uniforms.

Others make the hardest decision of their lives in a few unforgettable minutes.
