Bikers Learn Marine’s Remains Being Shipped FedEx, Ride 2,000 Miles To Keep That From Happening

After seven tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, Sargeant Jonathan Turner died in California a hero from combat injuries just a year after his retirement. Living in Georgia, the 41-year-old veteran’s family couldn’t travel out to his funeral in California. Once the ceremony ended, the military had plans to send the remains to the family. Before they could do that, the Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) stepped in. PGR is a fantastic organization of bikers that go to funerals for firefighters, military members, and police officers. At the funerals, PGR protects them from protestors and harassment. In addition to all this, they fill the seats at homeless and indigent veterans, hold homecoming celebrations for troops arriving home, and do volunteer work for veterans organizations.
After hearing Turner’s remains were going to be shipped home, PGR refused to allow it.
“The California Patriot Guard Riders contacted all of the state captains from California to Georiga and explained the situation, that it wasn’t proper to ship this war hero home via FedEx,” explained Jeff Goodiel of the Georgia Patriot Guard Riders. “Within days, a convoy was assembled with each state’s Patriot Guard Riders driving Turner’s cremated remains across their state and then passing those remains off to the next group of riders.”
  Organizers say they had hundreds of volunteers transporting the remains more than 2,000 miles across the country. The respect the PGR showed meant the world to Turner’s family.
“It’s heartwarming, to see all these people here,” said Turner’s mother, Annie Glanton. “I know that he was loved by a lot of people.”

Dad Learns Son Is Being A Bully, Teaches Him Lesson He’ll Never Forget

Becoming even more prevalent, bullying stands as a huge issue. A very likely cause of this is that parents don’t teach their kids how to treat people. This father seeks to change that in his home. When Bryan Thornhill heard his son bullied other kids on the bus, he decided his child needed to learn a lesson. With his form of discipline so unique, Bryan Thornhill soon went viral.
“Hey everyone, welcome to ‘You Better Listen to Your Dad 2018,’” Bryan started a video he posted on Facebook.
Taken from the car, this video shows his 10-year-old-son running on the side of the road with a backpack on.
“My son has finally got in trouble on the bus enough to where he was kicked off the bus for three days because he was being a little bully, which I do not tolerate, can’t stand. Therefore, he has to now run to school. We’re right about one mile from the school so all week he’s got the experience of running,” Bryan explained.
He refused to tolerate his son acting this way, and he knew exactly how to make it stop.

“We’re gonna make sure that one way or another his teachers are gonna be able to enjoy his company at school – he’s not disrupting his classmates and everything else,” Bryan said.
Bryan reports seeing changes in his son’s behavior since then. The teachers even approved of his son’s behavior for the week. He went all week without getting in trouble!
“Teach your kids. Don’t be a friend, be a parent,” he said. “That’s what children need these days.”

This was emailed to us by Charlie G. from Fort Worth, Texas. Read and enjoy. A motorcycle officer stops a man for running a red light. The guy is a real jerk and comes running back to the motor officer. The violator demands to know why he is being harassed by the ‘Gestapo.’ So the officer calmly tells him of the red light violation. The motorist instantly goes on a tirade, questioning the officer’s ancestry, sexual orientation, etc., in rather explicit terms. The officer, being a professional, takes it all in stride. The tirade goes on without the cop saying anything. When he gets done with writing the citation he puts an “AH” in the lower right corner of the narrative portion of the citation. He then hands it to the violator for his signature. The guy signs the cite angrily, tearing the paper, and when presented his copy points to the “AH” and demands to know what it stands for. The officer then removes his mirror sunglasses, get in the middle of the guys face and say, “That’s so when we go to court, I’ll remember you’re an Asshole!” Three months later they are in court. The violator has such a bad record he’s about to lose his license and has hired an attorney to represent him. On the stand the officer testifies to seeing the man run the red light. Under cross examination the defense attorney asks: “Officer is this a reasonable facsimile of the citation you issued my client?” Officer responds: “Yes sir, this is the defendants copy, his signature and mine, same number at the top. ” Attorney: “Officer, is there any particular marking or notation on this citation you don’t normally make?” Officer: “Yes sir, in the lower right corner of the narrative there is an ‘AH’, underlined. Attorney: “What does the AH stand for, officer?” Officer: “‘Aggressive” and ‘Hostile’, Sir” Attorney: “‘Aggressive’ and ‘Hostile’” Officer: “Yes Sir.” Attorney: “Officer, are you sure it doesn’t stand for Asshole?” Officer: “Well Sir, you know your client better than I do!” Chuckled?

See the restaurant owner’s touching gesture to unite different cultures this Christmas below. A restaurant owned by a Muslim in London is offering a three-course meal to the homeless and elderly on Christmas Day to ensure that no one eats alone. The restaurant, named Shish restaurant, sells Turkish cuisine. It is located in Bexley, London. The restaurant owner spread the word through social media to benefit maximum people. The menu for the occasion will include starters like soup and cacik. The main course will include chicken or vegetarian casserole or chicken shish. There will be rice pudding for dessert. “We’re just helping people,” Hasan Masud, an employee at the restaurant, told Buzzfeed. “Lots of people stay home alone for Christmas. They don’t need to. They can come here and have some fun.” “We are here to sit with you,” owner wrote in a note about the offer posted to the restaurant window. Since the handwritten sign went up, they have upgraded to a more official flyer. If this doesn’t capture the Christmas spirit of giving, what does?

Old man is told his life was easy as there was no drug problem when he Grew up…

The other day, a woman standing next to me at a store in our small town read that a meth lab had been found in an old farm house in the adjoining county, and she asked me a rhetorical question… Why didn’t we have a drug problem when you and I were growing up? I told her I did have a drug problem when I was a kid growing up. I was drug to church for weddings and funerals. I was drug to family reunions and community socials no matter the weather. I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults. I was also drug upstairs to my room or the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents, told a lie, brought home a bad report card, did not speak with respect, spoke ill of the teacher. Or if I didn’t put forth my best effort in everything that was asked of me. I was drug to the kitchen sink if I uttered a profane four letter word or smoked a cigarette (I do know what soap tastes like). I was drug out to pull weeds in mom’s garden and flower beds and to clear cockleburs out of dad’s fields. I was drug to the homes of family, friends, and neighbors to help out some poor soul who had no one to mow the yard, repair the clothesline or chop some fire wood, and if my mother had ever known that I took a single dime as a tip for this kindness, she would have drug me back to the wood shed. Those drugs are still in my veins; and they affect my behavior in everything I do, say, and think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack or heroin, and if today’s children had this kind of drug problem, America would be a better place to live today.

Three Siblings Gathered To Celebrate Their Parents’ Anniversary. Their Dad’s Response Was Priceless.

Joke submitted by Scott W. from Biloxi, Mississippi. A couple was about to celebrate 50 years together. Their three kids, all very successful and wealthy, agreed to a Sunday dinner in honor of their parents. As usual, they were all late and had varied excuses. “Happy anniversary, Mom and Dad,” gushed son number one. “Sorry, I’m running late… I just didn’t have the time to get you a present.” “No worry,” said Dad. “The important thing is that we’re all together.” Son number two arrived and announced, “Just flew in from L.A. and didn’t have time to get you anything… I’m sorry.” “It’s nothing,” said the father, “just glad you could be here today.” The daughter arrived. “Happy anniversary! I’m sorry, but I’ve been out of town and didn’t bring a present.” Again the father said, “I really don’t care, at least the five of us are together today.” Later, during dinner, the father put down his fork, looked up and said, “Listen, you three, there’s something your mother and I need to tell you. We came to this country penniless and desperate. Despite this, we were able to raise you and send you to college. But we never got around to getting married.” The three kids gasped and said, in unison, “You mean we’re BASTARDS?” “Yep,” said the dad. “And cheap ones, too!” Chuckled?

Rude teen tells mom of crying baby to ‘shut that thing up,’ – has no clue his dad is listening in

A crying baby can be frustrating and annoying for those who get around it, and people are often judging the parents for not shutting their babies up, not considering the fact that the parents themselves are just as frustrated, if not more. I believe every parent out there makes everything to get their baby calmed down but that’s not always an easy task. Exhausted parents are always grateful for a word of kindness and support from understanding strangers, and thankfully that’s exactly what mom Lucy Hatami got when she encountered a rude young man while out to breakfast recently. Tired of being stuck in the house all day, Lucy decided to go out to breakfast with her 8-month-old son. While she was trying to get organized, though, her son began to get fussy. Lucy tried desperately to calm him down, but before she could, she heard a 20-something young man muttering some unkind words meant directly for her. “I wish she’d shut that thing up!” he said loudly enough for her to hear. Lucy was taken aback and didn’t know what to say, but soon an unlikely hero came to her defense. “Before I could even respond his dad comes up behind him clips him round the ear,” Lucy recalled. “What and you think you were perfect?” he chastised his son. “You were a right little sod. Now stop being a brat, go up there and apologize to her and offer to get her breakfast as she clearly has her hands full!” Clearly, this father remembered the challenges of raising young ones and he wasn’t about to let his son get away with being rude and disrespectful to a struggling mom. “So I got my buffet breakfast with waiter service along with a lovely coffee,” Lucy wrote in a Facebook post. “Thank you to that dad who even after 20 odd years still remembers the difficulty of being parents to babies!” It seems this dad may still have a little parenting of his own yet to do, but thankfully he is not afraid to do it! Hopefully, his son took his lesson to heart that day and remembers to treat others with a little more compassion and respect. We never know what road another person is walking. What a good reminder to put ourselves in another person’s shoes and show them the same amount of kindness we ourselves would wish to receive! Are you glad this dad stepped in and put his son in line? Then share it!

No One Can Believe What Superintendent Did With His Summer

Being a teacher requires a lot of patience and dedication, but very often it also requires spending money on supplies for the students who can’t afford any. This is especially true if you work at a public school where budgets are usually tight. Textbooks are used and outdated because it’s too expensive to buy new ones. Improvement projects are put on hold because the funding simply just isn’t there. But, no matter the financial struggle, there are still people out there who do their best for the schools to function impeccably and for the students to experience the best out of the educational institution they attend.
Facebook/Fox 17
Dr. David Harnish has juggled meeting his staffers’ and students’ needs while running a school district. So the Martin Public Schools superintendent was thrilled when voters passed a bond that secured $18 million worth of upgrades to their buildings. After the remodeling was done at the high school, there was only one thing missing. The entire building was in desperate need of a fresh coat of paint.
Facebook/Fox 17
Unfortunately, having a professional company tackle that project would cost an additional $150,000, he told Fox 17. There was no way Dr. Harnish could find that in the bleak budget. “That $150,000 would’ve taken away from the kids or taken away from the potential for us taking care of our staff.” The last time the building and classrooms were painted was in 2001. So Dr. Harnish thought outside the box and came up with a solution that stunned district parents. He painted the buildings himself.
Facebook/Fox 17
While others were embarking upon magical vacations, soaking up the sun and enjoying their summer off, Dr. Harnish logged 90-hour weeks for the entire summer working on the district buildings. It was the only alternative. “We could’ve maybe done a room here or there but I would’ve been retired by the time we were completely done.” He also hired a handful of freshly graduated students to help him out. The small crew hoped to have the buildings ready by the first day of school. “It’s neat to be able give some of these seniors (who’ve graduated) an opportunity to do some summer work, too.” When the bell rang for the first day of school, Dr. Harnish was there, greeting everyone and hearing nothing but compliments for the fresh face the school was sporting. The parents were stunned.
Facebook/Fox 17
Dr. Harnish met his goal and everything looked great just in time. What an incredible gesture this man made for his students and the community!
