A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter recently saved someone in Upstate New York after they fell off a boat in Lake Erie.  The helicopter is normally stationed in Detroit.  It just happened to be in the area while heading back from an air show………….. Someone in England asked their neighbors if they’d “take their trash out” while they were away.  But instead of just taking it out to the curb, they took it out on the town and staged a photoshoot. They stuck googly eyes on it, and got shots of it at the store . . . out walking a dog . . . and out at a playground where it went down a slide……And finally………….. 

An Army sergeant named David Holmes has been stationed in Iraq, and was surprised when he recently got a box in the mail with his son’s favorite stuffed animal in it . . . a green dinosaur he calls “Dino.”  (Here’s a photo.) It turns out his five-year-old son Waylon wanted to send it to him to “keep his dad safe.”  Now a one-minute video Waylon’s mom posted is melting people’s hearts.  It includes shots of David posing with it, and even sleeping with it. The best news is Waylon has his stuffed animal AND his dad back now.  David got to come home earlier this month.  (Here’s the video.)
