I WISH to take my Dad, a Pearl Harbor Survivor, back to Hawaii for his 90th Birthday

March 24, 2008

Thank you for reading this. My Dad will be 90 yrs old in October. While out to dinner the other day, I asked him what he wanted to do for his birthday this year; was there any place that he wanted to go. His answer caught me by surprise. He got a kind of glazed look on his face and said that he'd like to go back to Pearl Harbor, in Hawaii. He said that he had the chance to go back there when they had the 50th Reunion. He said that he was sorry that he had not gone.

Heroes For Heroes

March 09, 2008

A little Colorado Springs boy got to marvel in the spot light for saving his sister's life.

Eight-year-old Nick Witte came to his one-year-old sister's rescue when she almost drowned in their dog's water bowl six months ago.

Nick Witte said he couldn't wait to get his medal of honor on Friday night. He said he's going to pin it on the living room wall at his home.

Witte was proud as ever to get his hero award. He received a metal by the Colorado Springs Fire Department recognizing his bravery. He said he knows exactly what it means to be a hero. "You save people." said Witte.

I WISH For help getting to SC to see hubby graduate Army BCT

March 06, 2008

My wish is for my daughter and I to have help getting to see my husband complete his Army basic training in South Carolina. He made the decision to go into the Army at the age of 33 (since the Army accepts people into their late 30s now) because he has always wanted to serve, and because it might help our financial future. We have always been a struggling family financially.

WUAH featured in Chattagnooga Times

March 04, 2008

The core idea of Wish Upon A Hero is people helping people. Clint Coopor of the Chattanooga Times wrote a terrific story about the site and also about the member who directed him to WUAH. I wish every paper in the country would do an article about their local heroes and how they are making a differnce in the world. If you have an amazing wish that you have granted, contact your local paper. Let them know that there are good people doing good things in the world.
