The following story must be read. As bad as America seems today with this present government there are those stories that MUST be told of those who loved and served this great nation. This is one of those stories. https://patriotpost.us/alexander/101760-profiles-of-valor-ssg-joe-hooper-2023-11-01

‘Tennessee GOP Gov. Bill Lee has invited the private, conservative Hillsdale College to help open charter schools in his state as alternatives to public school that families and others in the state believe have far too liberal curricula.
Lee is making available as much as $32 million in public funds for the charter schools, which receive taxpayer funding to operate but are privately run.
They have traditionally served as an alternative to families with children in under-performing public schools.
The Hillsdale charter schools are neither owned nor managed by Hillsdale. Instead, the schools enter agreements to use the Hillsdale curriculum, and the small Michigan college provides training for faculty and staff, as well as other assistance – all free of charge, according to The New York Times.
A Hillsdale official told Just the News on Thursday it has received three applications to participate in the Tennessee program.
Hillsdale calls its lessons the “1776 Curriculum.”
School officials say the name is not in response to The New York Times’ “1619 Project” about so-called Critical Race Theory – which suggests America is inherently racist – but is “inspired by a deep admiration and respect for America’s Founders and the principles they expressed.
Public school parents have in recent months expressed large concerns about variations of critical race theory being taught to their children and have repeatedly brought their arguments to the public forum – including open school board meetings.
Hillsdale’s version teaches students that America is “an exceptionally good country.”
Critics of the 1776 Curriculum say it has an overly positive take on American history.
“It talks about the enormity of slavery, but in almost every case, everything that’s bad about America will be undone by what is good. Almost, literally, that American ideals will overcome whatever evils may be there,” Sean Wilentz, a Princeton professor told The Times.
Lee recently told Tennessee lawmakers: “For decades, Hillsdale College has been the standard-bearer in quality curriculum and in the responsibility of preserving American liberty. I believe their efforts are a good fit for Tennessee.”’https://americanfaith.com/tennessee-invites-hillsdale-college-to-help-start-charter-schools-as-alternative-to-woke-curricula/
The “Iowa Ambassadors of Music honor a fallen World War II veteran. A solider was escorting the remains of the American hero back home on board a Delta Airlines flight from Frankfurt, Germany.”
“Our story took place on July 18th aboard Delta Airlines Flight 15 – from Frankfurt, Germany.
On board were dozens of teenage musicians – members of the Iowa Ambassadors of Music. They had just completed a European tour and were returning home.
Also on board was a soldier – in full dress uniform. The young man was escorting the remains of a World War II veteran.
It just so happened to be that one of the flight attendants was seated across from Dr. Lee Nelson, the singing group’s choral director and the director of choral activities at Wartburg College.
During the long flight across the Atlantic, she mentioned to the director about the fallen soldier – and how an Honor Guard would meet the plane once they landed in Atlanta.
“She asked if there was something that perhaps we could sing,” Dr. Nelson told me during a telephone interview from his office at Wartburg College.
By chance, the choir had concluded all of their European concerts with a moving rendition of the “Battle Hymn of the Republic.”
“I thought that might be something appropriate to sing to honor and respect the remains of that soldier and also the uniformed soldier,” he said.
But organizing a choral concert on a plane is not all that easy – especially since the students were scattered through the giant aircraft. So Dr. Nelson enlisted the aid of a chaperone and they stood back to back so they could direct both halves of the plane.
As the Honor Guard approached the jetliner and the soldier rose from his seat, the teenagers began singing, “Glory, Glory, Hallelujah…”
Young American boys and girls from places like Des Moines and Waverly and Iowa City – sang with all their might in four part harmony. And the entire moment was captured on video.
“It was an emotional moment,” Dr. Nelson said. “The flight attendants had tears in their eyes – and so did the directors.” http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2016/08/02/teen-singers-honor-fallen-soldier-aboard-jetliner.html
If this didn’t bring at least one tear; you are a very hard person.
