David Bryant; Marine veteran saving the world
Tequila Volare sends us a link from FoxAtlanta about David Bryant, a UPS employee and an Afghanistan veteran of the Marine Corps variety. He was out driving his route yesterday, when he saw an elderly woman lying alongside the road – she was choking on a piece of food. Bryant leaped from his truck, not taking time to change into his superhero uniform, and performed the Heimlich maneuver on the woman;
Luckily, the 83-year-old victim was able to dislodge that piece of food. Paramedics then took her to a local hospital.
Bryant says his military training kicked in to help save that woman. Bryant served as a Marine in Afghanistan. He was a gunner and reached the rank of corporal. Bryant says he does not consider himself to be a hero; saying instead that he did what anyone else would have done to save that elderly woman.

Way to go Marine!
UPS seems like a great job. I have never seen a dirty truck and the drivers get to wear uniforms–and occasionally save a life. Nice.
Once a Marine, always a Marine.
UPS driver … He will be a millionnaire by the time he is 40.
UPS drivers make a great living and they get outstanding french benefits!
I hope, Master Chief, you’re referring to “fringe” benefits. I can only imagine what “french” benefits would be.
Oooh la la!
“French benefits”???
Maybe a white flag on a stick ???
^^^ HA! HA! HA! ^^^
That was good!
I bet the average UPS Driver makes at least twice the money that any member of the DRG makes in a year, and those drivers make it honestly!
Well done, young man!
BRAVO ZULU, Marine!!
Yeah, “Buster Brown” (Truckers’ slang for UPS) isn’t an easy outfit to get hired by. They’re picky, but they give a good day’s pay for a day’s work!
Well done!
Great job Leather Neck!!
