Warning: the video may cause an eye irritation....


A heartwarming video shows the moment a high school football team's waterboy makes his first touchdown.
Noah VanVooren, who has Down Syndrome, is a senior at Little Chute High School in Clintonville, Wisconsin, and is the Mustangs football team manager and waterboy, reports RadarOnline.
He led the team onto the pitch but then asked his coach, Brian Ryczkowski, if he could play in the third quarter of the match against the Clintonville Truckers.

Keeping the chain going. Perhaps we'll put all the good things we find in this little box :p

Doesn't always have to be football, but 'tis the season ;)

Here's a dandy... From SFO, of all places.

San Francisco to transform into Gotham City for boy's Batman Make-a-Wish (http://abclocal.go.com/wtvd/story?section=news/national_world&id=9315608)


A little boy is about to get the surprise of a lifetime when San Francisco turns itself into Gotham City on Nov. 15 to fulfill the 5-year-old leukemia patient's wish to be Batman for a day.
.....
Make-a-Wish decided to make Miles' dream come true and, in a rare move for the foundation, asked the public to participate.

LONDON (AP) — Hundreds have attended the funeral of a 99-year-old former World War II airman who died without family after a nursing home appealed for strangers to give him a send-off.

Harold Percival died Oct. 25 in Lytham St. Annes, northwest England. The nursing home placed an advertisement in the local newspaper asking military personnel to attend the service.

The ad was taken up on Twitter, and several hundred soldiers, veterans and civilians gathered at a crematorium Monday to pay respects to Percival, who served as ground crew with the Royal Air Force during the war.

The Rev. Alan Clark told mourners they had "come in numbers surpassing anything that was expected. Not because you knew him, but because each of us has a common humanity."

There is a reason they call it "rendering honors".

Bravo Zulu to the crew of the Dewey, for honoring an old shipmate.

Wishing fair winds and following seas to EM2 Cloud.

Sir Nicolas Winton, with the 669 children he rescued just prior to WWII.

I cannot think of words to adequately describe men like him. I'm just extraordinarily thankful they exist.

That was awesome. Thanks for posting and the room did get a little dusty watching that video, so you've been forewarned.
