Lots of depressing stuff in the news these days...Half the middle east trying to start wars with the other half, or the rest of the world, Syria about to be a war zone, Ukraine probably not far behind, terrorist threats at the Olympics, spree killings and school shootings here in the US, Hillary probably running for president, volcano erupting I can't remember where...

And 8 year old Tyler Doohan lost his life a few days ago while trying to get his grandfather out of a burning trailer, after already saving the lives of several other family members.

If you haven't already PLEASE observe a moment or two of silence for this kid, he deserves no less.

Indeed.
Then his family begins to squabble over donations in his name.
God rest him.

Cool. Thanks guys.

According to the article fire departments all over the country are adding his name to their rosters. I think that's cool as it gets.

I read that the local volunteer fire company had a special open ceremony where the kid was formally inducted into the fire department and honored as dead in action.

It moved me.
