Heros call-Irena Sendler

(Hat Tip to "SK")

There  recently was a death of a 98 year-old lady named  Irena. During WWII, Irena, got permission to  work in the Warsaw  Ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist. She had  an 'ulterior motive' ... She KNEW what the  Nazi's plans were for the Jews, (being German.)

 Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of the  tool box she carried and she carried in the back  of her truck a burlap sack, (for larger kids..)  She also had a dog in the back that she trained  to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and  out of the ghetto. The soldiers of course wanted  nothing to do with the dog and the barking  covered the kids/infants noises.. During her  time of doing this, she managed to smuggle out  and save 2500 kids/infants. She was caught, and  the Nazi's broke both her legs, arms and beat  her severely. Irena kept a  record of the names of all the kids she smuggled  out and kept them in a glass jar, buried under a  tree in her back yard. After the war, she tried  to locate any parents that may have survived it  and reunited the family.

  Most  had been  gassed. Those kids she helped got placed into  foster family homes or  adopted. 

Recently,  Irena was up  for the Nobel Peace Prize ... She was  not  selected.

However,  Al Gore won, for a slide show on Global Warming  and Barack Obama won for a speech on  peace.

Irena Sendler may have been denied the Nobel Peace Price but the smile on her face and twinkle in her eye still in her later years reveals an inner peace that passes understanding. There are people that walk this earth with such courage it is almost impossible to find words to describe the profound impact they have on us when we come in contact with them or hear their life story. Irena is one of those people. Thank you for passing her story along to your readers Major.

This is what true hero's are made of.It is a shame we teach our children to emulate others who are so shallow, IE movie stars, sports stars, giving awards to those who are not worthy. Her heart and faith saved so many.Thank you for paying tribute to her by printing her story.

Jesus shines vividly in her countenance...her eyes, her smile will forever out shine their works; obviously accomplish more than they together, ever will.

She is a saint, and deserves to be remembered throughout history. It boggles the mind to think that she was passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize while twerps like Gore and Obama got it. They cheapen the Nobel; Irena put her very life where her mouth was and paid a terrible price. She is worthy of great honor by all wh love justice.

The Nobel prize farce has become a leftist glee club for the elites to award themselves "honours". It is more of an honor and indicates a good moral standing NOT to be picked for one.

We all could learn courage from this woman. Bless you Grandmother.

You need to put on wet roads, but no boots or snow, which can damage the top surface of boots.
