My ode to a personal unsung hero was when I was a young and wild punkrock teen.. I was trying to cut across a major highway and in climbing the chain link fence, my combat boots couldn't get a good toehold - I slipped and pierced my hand straight thru on the wire top.. I then had to pull my hand off, and make it over the fence - and to the highway... No sooner had I put out my shirt-wrapped bloody hand to hitch a ride than a guy pulled over.
He happend to be a volounteer St. John's ambulance man, made sure I kept my hand eleveated and pressured - drove me to a hospital and gave my broke-ash 20 bucks to cab home. Refused my protestations or offers to mail him money back and drove away.
I guess this is my way of thanking this total stranger, Good Samaritan some 20 years later – and reminding us all how easy it is to make a real and positive difference to a stranger..
Do you have a Good Samaritan story?

my brother and his friends and I went 45 miles to the nearest town to get school supplies and we ran out of gas on a major highway. we had no money left and we started walking home. the man at the house next to where we ran out of gas ask if we needed help and we told him our car was out of gas. he said he had some we could use. we put our change together to pay the man and he said to keep it and return the favor to some one else someday. we have returned that favor to other people every chance we get and we say the same thing that man told us...
return the favor to someone else someday.

No, I am not into heros. Real ones don't brag about it, don't look for atta boys, recognition or the whole ball of wax garbage..
Only, the fake one do. Remember the "Fisherman" in the Elio Gonzales case? Did I make my point?
