Above and Beyond

Prince Pinkney, an eighty-three-year-old Vietnam war veteran, collapsed from heat exhaustion while doing yard work at his Fort Lauderdale, Florida home recently. Firefighters and paramedics wasted no time coming to the rescue, says the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. They not only treated Pinkney and his wife, Rebecca, they finished mowing their lawn for them. As Fire Rescue Captain Terry Maylor put it: “Their age, what they’ve gone through, his history as a veteran serving this country. If that doesn’t move you to go ahead and do what you’re capable of, then nothing will.”
