Each one of these accounts of bravery and self-sacrifice touch the heart deeply. Out of hardship and struggle a great man emerged. David Kingsley’s character developed at a very young age. In the few short years he had his mother’s guidance he learned how to live his life in the right way. The gratitude that Mr. Sullivan had and expressed to Kingsley’s brother shows how much he understood the sacrifice Kingsley made on his behalf. They both exemplify the best of mankind.

David Kingsley "spent many years standing in the gap" for his siblings". An apt description as to why he saved Sullivan's life, at the expense of his own. We can say that he was already conditioned to caring for others, yet he always had a choice, and he made this final choice to save another at the expense of his own. Let us remember him.

I pray and ask God that we continue to produce people like Lt. Kingsley. He had no fear to die when it came to helping others. We cannot let the sacrifice of men such Kingsley to have died in vain. We, too, need to live worthy of their deaths. Thank you, Tara Ross, for sharing this incredible story of love.
