Captain America here, so I read your story, I saw what you did and I'm sure you heard a lot of this over the last couple days, but let me be the next one to tell you, pal, you're a hero, what you did was so brave, so selfless, your sister is so lucky to have you as a big brother. Your parents must be so proud of you, i'm going to track down your address and I'm going to send you an authentic Captain America shield because pal, you deserve it.
Not all of your sacrifices made today will benefit you personally tomorrow. Some are selfless acts of investments towards the future, that will create generational wealth for our offsprings.
Garrett is, or was, the most selfless person I knew. Always there as kind of my confidante, my brother, he put up with me. I kind of was pushing him probably over the edge at times, and he always had the patience to calm me down, and Kurt Aichele know we worked together like brother and sister would.
Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona:
I'm so sad to learn that Bill Badger has passed away. Bill was not only a great man and a proud Army veteran, he was a hero, on Jan. 8, 2011, Bill was wounded in the head by a bullet from the gun of my would-be assassin. Not even pausing to realize he had been injured, Bill ran towards the shooter and towards danger so that he could help subdue him until the authorities arrived. I believe that Bill helped save lives that morning. And I will always be grateful to him for his selfless, brave actions. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with Bill's loved ones as they mourn the loss of a great man.
Remember without self, there can be no selfless acts. Take care, nurture and challenge your self so you can expand the act of selfless action.
