Normally for this feature I look for the story of an inspiring mother, who loved despite all the odds.

This week I think I found a keeper. Thanks, Sylvia. Disdain or Mercy?

I’d also like to thank Mighty Mom for passing on this story of a truly Extraordinary Dad, Ed Freeman, a military hero who recently passed away at the age of 80. At least thirty men survived the Vietnam War because of his courage under fire.  On behalf of both these men — Sylvia’s cousin and Mr. Freeman — I’d like to offer the following.

Eternal rest grant to them, O Lord,

And may your perpetual light shine upon them.

May their souls, and the souls of all the faithful departed,

by the mercy of God rest in peace.
