I saw something today that was distressing.

“While at the United Grocery store today.an elderly man had collapsed and several of the United store workers were giving him CPR before the ambulance arrived. The workers were all calm and never stopped doing life saving procedures. I was so impressed with everything they did, to show such compassion. I've done CPR…”
