Christian Gunter; saving the world a couple of veterans at a time
19-year-old Christian Gunter was working the night shift at the Vilonia long term care for veterans near Little Rock, Arkansas when tornadoes struck the other day. He’s the manager of the home for disabled veterans. He felt it was his responsibility to move ten of those veterans to a nearby church that doubles as an emergency shelter. According to Fox News;
Gunter made sure he got all the vets loaded into a vehicle and transported to a church about a mile away that serves as a storm shelter. The home sustained major damage as parts of the roof were torn off.
“It’s always our priority to take the best care of them that we can possibly do. Our guys have risked a lot and it’s a great opportunity for us to help them out,” he said.
The story continues that his own home was destroyed by a particularly destructive tornado as well.

This young man is a true hero. 19 years old and the manager of the facility. His first thought is to care for his veterans. Would that we had more young people like him in this nation.

If only the head of the VA facility in Phoenix was this dedicated to her patients.
Good on him. There’s hope for the republic yet.
Christian Gunter is a great and heroic young man. He put his duties to those unable to care for themselves above one’s own natural desire for safety. God bless him. He has a bright future in whatever he does. This story should be required reading in every high school and college.
Well this is a great story. Unlike that story about the healthcare worker at the retirement home that just stood by and watched a patient die because it wasn’t her job a couple of years ago.
Man, it’s dusty in here. Good job young man.
That’s 3 times today that the blog brought me to tears. This young man is all that’s bright and positive of the future.
Now that you’ve made me all gushy and girly, isn’t there someone around here that needs a new asshole torn?
