One Marine's View: Meet "Shifty" - Heroes Call

One Marine's View: Meet "Shifty" - Heroes Call

March 19, 2011


Meet "Shifty" - Heroes Call

You never know when you will meet the next “shifty”. Every interaction or effort to support the warriors is huge and you never know just who you might be affecting or helping when you do reach to help.

There have been a few times I thought I was just doing what was right by assisting and giving a hand to help this or that guy but sometimes you find yourself helping one of the Nations heroes. Sometimes its heroes of past wars and sometimes its tomorrows heroes that might just need that little piece you have and can provide. Its the kind of support that "picks" you and then you with free will have the opportunity to help or be a bystander and sit and watch. Im a pretty open  straight shooting guy and can read people pretty well. So when I make the effort and reach out to them usually its met with a positive receptive return either it being a farmer in Iraq, tribal leader in Afghanistan or one of our nations heroes. It doesn't usually cost you anything to lend a hand but you have to make the decision to do it. What if you offer and they refuse? Well at least you offered. Make them tell you “no”. You might be surprised how many times people return with “yes, I need your help.”

Time for a Cgar

Meet shifty.......
