Wounded Army Vet Plows Snow For Neighbors

Noel7 — Wed, 27 Jan 2016 23:06:22 GMT

What a touching story!

Justin Anderson, an amputee and cancer survivor, has been plowing snow for his neighbors with his specially equipped wheel chair.

He says he wants to give back, and doesn't want people falling in the snow and getting hurt.

There's a wonderful short video of Justin plowing on Huffington Post:

What a nice, heart warming story. His "snow plow" is pretty impressive. With all that he has been through, he is still thinking of paying back and giving back to his community.

It would be nice if the people he helped gave him a gift card for he and his family at a nice resturant. Apparently not only did he give his time he also paid for the gas.

A story of true kindness -- that apparently is going both ways.

He says in the article that his community has continued to support him through his rehabilitation as well as his two bouts with brain cancer. And the snow clearing is his way of saying thanks.

This act of selflessness on his part does not surprise me, the 1% continues to do the heavy lifting in this country. His community should should help him out, it's the least they and every tax payer can do to repay him and his family for all they sacraficed.

I'm not sure whether you're saying they are not helping and they should, or that of course they should. In any event, the link in the OP is to an article in which the vet says the community has been helping him all along and that he is plowing snow to say thanks to his community.

@blackhole99

I don't understand your comment. What one percent, doing what?

Did you read the article? He's doing it because his neighborhood/community has helped him out all through his amputation, his cancer treatment and the hard times he has had.
