Whilst they were watching the movie, a lady had a seizure, her body became limp and she vomited; she had no control, she was passed out and not aware of what she was doing. Her friend rushed out, got assitance and an Ambulance was called. When help arrived, she was put on a stretcher and my dad had to help move her. It might sound simple but just imagine: you don't know this lady, she's a complete stranger yet you help move her out of the way and assist when possible. I call that honorable.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18234560405122776663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345254913878149620.post-55901193879740316472012-09-17T18:43:26.693-07:002012-09-17T18:43:26.693-07:00Hi Stacey, thanks so much for your comment, and yo...Hi Stacey, thanks so much for your comment, and your husband's act was truly extraordinary. Just a reminder to anyone else entering the contest, though: I did specify an act by a stranger, so a family member would not qualify.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05736019203704382525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345254913878149620.post-69807414209282477812012-09-17T18:28:09.015-07:002012-09-17T18:28:09.015-07:00I saw something very similar to that happen as wel...I saw something very similar to that happen as well! americangirlemmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08077016240209200133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345254913878149620.post-6567740128682996032012-09-17T18:23:30.508-07:002012-09-17T18:23:30.508-07:00Heroic acts and acts of honor aren't the same ...Heroic acts and acts of honor aren't the same thing, are they? Heroism is rare, but I see honorable acts all the time. People returning things that are lost, paying for things they could have gotten away with not paying, refusing awards they haven't earned, helping strangers in need, even when it inconveniences them, being kind to children and animals even when they think no one is looking. It's a long list of things strangers (and not strangers) will do for honor. My favorite is rescuing animals. I've seen people do it a lot.Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13839403140693356631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345254913878149620.post-29716805510457313462012-09-17T18:20:26.996-07:002012-09-17T18:20:26.996-07:00My dad found an elderly gentlemen had fallen in th...My dad found an elderly gentlemen had fallen in the street.

The woman behind her in line stepped forward, swiped her card and said, "no worries!" as she paid for the woman's food.

This student walked through sewage and pests just to help someone out--and even suffered from a few rashes afterward. This girl wasn't getting paid--she just did it out of the kindness of her own heart.Pam Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872183610393667619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345254913878149620.post-27200405324067366852012-09-17T18:00:43.208-07:002012-09-17T18:00:43.208-07:00When I was in high school, I went on a two week re...When I was in high school, I went on a two week retreat at the college I would later attend. I didn't know anyone, and was rather shy. But I was always an observer of people. About halfway through the retreat, a girl that had a reputation for being standoff-ish and angry was having a breakdown. She was sitting by herself under a tree, crying like her heart was broken. Before I could decide to go talk to her and risk being yelled at, another kid did. And she yelled at him--cussed him out at a Christian retreat. He ignored her, and sat down next to her and waited her out. Eventually, she quit cussing and started sobbing, and talking. <br />I never found out what exactly was going on with her that caused the breakdown, but I did notice them together, and how she seemed to be better when he was there, willing to listen. <br />It really struck me that this random stranger was willing to stop what he was doing and get yelled at, because she was hurting and needed a friend.
