People tend to forget happy moments and lose faith as quick as a wink. However, those who have learned to appreciate the joy in small-small things will relate to this story’s ups and downs. Happiness comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors we just need to realize. Love is all around us even in the darkest of moments we just need to feel it. The first thing that struck our minds after knowing this war hero’s story was the lyrics from Rihanna’s evergreen song, “We found love in a hopeless place.” Once you’ll know more about him you’ll think of the same.
Mike, The Sergeant
Master Sergeant Mike Maroney was given orders to save lives when Hurricane Katrina hit the United States. Sergeant Maroney was saving lives unknown to what was awaiting him. This Hurricane changed many lives around the U.S. and Maroney is one of those people. Maroney saved more than 140 people during that day. Though he wasn’t sent for this purpose and hence he was somewhere ignoring the orders that he got from his seniors in the first place. Yet taking these people out of their flood-ridden homes was his ethical responsibility. Little did the sergeant know this day will have the biggest impact on his life.
