The only people who have put their lives on the line for you are your local police, your military and JESUS CHRIST.
Lost in the recent chaos at Ohio State University was something that
most people probably missed.
About an hour into it, when everyone was
"sheltering in place" all over campus, CNN took a phone call from a
young woman who was locked inside a classroom right near where the
suspect was hurting people.
She said she was a graduate student and she
and many others were huddled together scared and not sure what was
happening outside. Then she said something made me tear up.
She said casually to the TV anchor over the phone, "But we happened to have a few 'military guys' in my class and the minute we got the text message alert of an 'active shooter on campus' they moved the rest of us away from the door and then all of them stood guard right by the door."
She said they were standing there as she spoke making certain if a
shooter tried to come
through that door, they would be the first thing he'd see and they'd
stop it and protect the other students or die trying.
These guys weren't armed, I'm guessing they weren't in uniform, they were just students who happened to have military training.
Those "military guys"
instantly put themselves on the clock and assumed the position to
protect those unarmed, vulnerable students.
I thought that was impressive.
I thought that was brave.
I thought that was so very American.
I thought you'd want to know.
