Project Hero

One of my regular blog reads is QandO and something I have been meaning to mention over here is their Project Hero. The most recent installment can be found here.

Here is how they describe Project Hero:

PROJECT HERO is an ongoing attempt to highlight the valor of our military as they fight in both Iraq and Afghanistan. We constantly hear the negative and far to little of the positive and inspiring stories coming out of those countries. This is one small attempt to rectify that.


One other thing I have meant to mention is that when I was in the Atlanta airport a few weeks ago there was an announcement on the loud speaker about the service men and women who were there (there were a lot) and asked if we could give them a round of applause. It was really heartwarming. The applause was fairly loud and lasted for a few moments. I wish I could have thanked each and every one of them personally. They certainly deserve it.

That is awesome what Q & O does!! this young lady did not earn a medal for her actions, but did get the satisfaction of "secondary explosions" on her target :-)

It is fun to report the good stuff. It's too bad the MSM can never seem to find any good stories like these.

This was a great post Nick. The post about Master Sergeant Pryor well done and I'm going to try to keep up with them. They post Project Hero every Saturday.

What a great thing to take part in at the Atlanta airport. I'm positive it made the soldiers feel good to know folks are behind them.
