The Goodness of America
Two recent mass shootings forced the emergence of several brave heroes who deserve to be honored in this installment of “Goodness of America.” These people serve as reminders that evil can never defeat goodness. They are the purest examples of the “Goodness of America.”
Honoring Heroes in El Paso Shooting
When a gunman opened fire in a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, on August 3, killing 22 people and injuring more than 20 others, at least three heroes emerged who put their own lives at risk to save others.
Glendon Oakley, a 22-year-old automated logistical specialist stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas, was shopping at the Cielo Vista Mall when the shots began, ABC News reported. He recalled a young child approaching him to say there was a shooter at the nearby Walmart. Hearing the gunfire, Oakley immediately ran toward the store with one thing in mind: save as many children as he could.
