Today’s Good News 1-18-23

A guy in Winston-Salem, NC risked his own safety after he saw a deer with a bucket stuck on its head.  He managed to yank it off as the deer was kicking wildly, and someone’s security cam got it on video.  The deer was fine and ran away……………….An 11-year-old in California named Nathan Braxton is in the news after his mom posted footage of him singing along to “Naughty” from “Matilda the Musical”.  And I mean he REALLY went for it.  Now Delta has stepped up, and they’re flying him to New York, so he can see his first musical on Broadway. (Here’s the video.  Don’t miss his dad stopping the song at :37 and restarting it at :58.  There’s also one of Nathan reacting to the fanfare, and one where he gets emotional after Leslie Odom Jr. from “Hamilton” gives him props.)…….And finally……… 

A 97-year-old veteran near San Diego is finally being awarded the Navy Cross.  It’s the second-highest award for valor you can get, after the Medal of Honor.  He was a pilot in Korea, and was in a crazy dogfight in 1952. He took on seven enemy planes on his own, and shot down four of them.  When he landed, there were 263 bullet holes in his plane, but he wasn’t hurt.  Most of the details were classified, so that’s why he never got a medal until now. He went on to serve another 23 years, and did over 100 flight missions in Vietnam.  The medal ceremony is this Friday.
