    Because they usually travel through tunnels under the snow?

I was wearing a Marine Corps Vet hat, we spoke for a while, they knew I served during the Vietnam war. As we ended the conversation the woman put her hand on my arm and quietly and sincerely said - welcome home. Something I didn't hear when I got back in 72. It did my heart much good.

    started a topic Positive News Stories! :smile:

    Positive News Stories! :smile:

    I would like to find out if you know of any happy news stories. Stories of heroism. Stories of cute animals. Sweet and fluffy stories. My goal is to have a positive and upbeat thread in the Civics section! So, please no derails complaining about politics or other negative stuff. That is for other threads. Not for this one.

    A cop saved a girl from a house fire! http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Her...444530823.html Well, it stonks that the house caught on fire, but hey! The girl was saved!
