Heroes have a way of making you realize how small-minded and ungrateful you have been.
/Meet former US Special Forces soldier turned humanitarian aid worker David Eubank, running through ISIS gunfire in the embattled Iraqi city of Mosul in order to rescue a toddler who was sitting amidst a pile of dead bodies.
Eubank formed the Free Burma Rangers (FBR) as a Christian humanitarian group in 1997, providing emergency relief in war zones. Since January 2016, FBR has traveled to Iraq for relief trips.
After watching the video, a few things became clear to me:
- I can never be grateful enough to be born in a land of perpetual peace and stability.
- My problems are trivial.
- I'm a coward compared to these heroes.
