Although this happened nearly two years ago, it is great to learn that Mr. Hill's act of courage was noticed at the highest levels in his home country. The two boys lost their mother, but at least they are alove today thanks to his quick actions in the surf. Like so many people who have done similar things, Mr. Hill's response: "It was just human nature." Bravo!

Jon Meis Seizes Opening, Tackles Gunman
The story at the link below delves very briefly into several incidents of true courage by "regular people". Meis' story has been all over the news, but a couple of the others were not as heavily covered. Like so many of the people mentioned in the blog, he seeks no major credit or kudos, just did what needed to be done and moved on with his life. Thanks Jon!
