I was try to help with clean up. I found some boards wit a lot of blood on them. It all hit at once. The group I was with had me go take a break. He was coming down with the group you see in the first pick. He saw I was crying. He pointed at me "Hey Miss? Are you OK? What do you need?". I was able to see his eyes. He meant it.

I had seen so many that came in for photo opts and they would ask the same thing, but they didn't have any real feelings in their eyes. But he did. He told some aid to get me some water and to check about some food. He wanted to help.

After that simple exchange, he went on the rest of the tour. But I know I will never forget how he helped my spirit.
