We’ve outstretched ourselves in all the corners of this world. Reaching to the farthest areas doesn’t seem like a big deal anymore. Especially when we can connect with people from different continents. Yet, finding someone in particular about whom we know nothing at all is almost impossible but a guy beats all the odds this time.

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.

Hurricane Katrina has been harsh on the U.S. This natural disaster was nothing less of a nightmare.

Maroney was assigned a work to be done and one family trapped in their home during this phase of national emergency were about to play a big role for the sergeant; bigger than anyone’s imagination.
