NAZZY'S RANDOM STUFF

JYY HERO OF THE DAY

A SOLDIER WHO DIED IN AFGHANISTAN DONATED HIS ORGANS AND TISSUE TO 75 DIFFERENT PEOPLE:

Now it's time to recognize our Hero of the Day . . . 21-year-old Corporal Ben Kopp of Rosemount, Minnesota. In 2006, Ben joined the Army and served two tours of duty in Iraq. But last July, while serving his first tour of duty in Afghanistan, Ben was KILLED during a firefight with Taliban soldiers.

Anyway, Ben had made it clear that if he died, he wanted to donate his organs. And since his death, 75 different people have received Ben's organs and tissues. Or look at it this way . .

When he was alive, Ben was credited with saving the lives of SIX of his fellow soldiers. And in death, Ben saved another 75 lives. (WCCO News 4 - Twin Cities / Minnesota Public Radio)

Ben's heart went to a 57-year-old woman named Judy Meikle. You can check out a couple news videos about Ben and Judy's story here . . .)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDtMOl5licM
