Last week we all read the story of homeless former Marine Johnny Bobbit who gave a woman his last $20 for gasoline when she was on her way to a holiday gathering. She set up a GoFundMe account to pay him back and raised more than $381,000 so far. <\/p>\n

Well, the Marine Corps Times<\/a> reports that Bobbit was indeed a Marine but left his job as an ammunition technician after 14 months and at the rank of Private (E-1) from his assignment to 1st Battalion, 10th Marines at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. He also never deployed to the war against terror.<\/p>\n

That doesn’t take anything away from what he did for that woman, nor am I saying that you shouldn’t donate to him, if you’re led in that direction. I hope Bobbit takes this as a blessing and does the right thing with his new found fortune. According to CNN<\/a>, he says that he wants to use the money to buy a home and to help other people. I hope he stays on that course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
