There is no question America is very divided.  I have lived through the Kennedy assassinations in the 1960s, as well as the Democratic Convention in Chicago during that period.  I have seen how the Vietnam War split our population.  I experienced what happened in Watergate.

Yes, we are divided now and have had splits on many issues during my lifetime.  I fully understand all that.

However, a story posted on the news Web site axios.com reminds us that there are important moments when we come together, when “normal people” come through to make a difference.

The biggest example is how regular folks came to the aid of the Highland Park shooting victims during that July 4th parade.  Had those citizens not quickly responded, the death toll would certainly have been higher.

There are a few other examples in that story.  It is all about “normal people” rapidly responding to an emergency and making a difference.

It feels good to sometimes have good news to report.
