Master Sgt. Dan ‘Bud’ Wassom II’s last action in this life was using his body to shield his 5-year-old daughter Lorelai as a tornado demolished his house on Sunday, said his mother, Pamela Wassom.
Stories like this always get me emotional.
This man was a Master Sgt. but the true bravery he showcased in life was not in the air or in battle, it was against a weather system that had no sympathy for human life.
His daughter is alive because of his actions.. He is not.
The money quote:
“Lorelai kept telling the emergency room people, she said, ‘My daddy saved me; the house exploded and my daddy saved me; he’s a hero,’” Pamela said. “And he is. He’s a true hero.”
Maybe this Friday night, take a second to appreciate your own life just more..
And pray or hope there’s a better place after this planet takes us—if so Dan Wassom is in it.
