    What an outstanding collection of stories from the great Steve Hartman! From the urban visionary in Michigan who will change the world, to the bus driver in Virginia that took a step up in the world of humanity, to the police officer in Arizona that shows what police officers oftentimes do without any recognition, to the motel owner in South Carolina who is the epitome of goodness (and who reminds me of what my parents would have done), and all the other stories that show the loving kindness in our great country. But the story that got to me the most were the EMT's in Sackets Harbor in New York. As a 68 year old EMT, I can't help but be so proud of those young men and women, who saw a problem and tackled that problem for the good of their community. What an outstanding group of young men and women! To all the people featured, and to Steve Hartman, thank you for what you do!

    I've always loved Steve Hartman stories. I thought he did then only once in a while now, maybe not. I watch a different news station in my area; I wished all 3 major networks would show his stories. I happened upon this and so happy I did. Steve's stories tend to tear me up, but not with sadness. This is a WONDERFUL compilation; a Must Watch. I thought I'd watch a few and save the rest for later; I can't stop now lol. Keep it up Mr. Hartman, I don't think anyone who watches you want you to ever stop telling these heartwarming stories. These days everyone can use some heartwarming. Sending big Thank You's for sharing your work.

    @zoecunningham3019 Před rokem +8

    Daily observation of discord, unwanted hate,& debates of who's right/wrong, brings thoughts of negativity. Of hopelessness, not exclusive to immediate generations, but decades of future to come. Watching these loving moments people do for another, fills my heart and emotional aspirations with positivity we can make it through. There ARE &will continue to be those who are compassionate. Personally I wish I could thank them all for their loving kindness. Share a smile, a helping hand. It takes a moment to alter a negativity, to positivity

    GregForeman, Excellent Show! You are one AMAZING young man, that your parents must be so proud of. Your commentary is so clear, concise, and spot on. Facts are clearly Suuny Hostin’s problem, as she thinks she’s always right, is she’s rarely right. I am so impressed with you Greg. The fact that you are willing to listen to others’ views, possibly learn something new, but still stay who you are, is a rarity these days. Seems when someone sees another’s view, somewhat agrees, then they have to switch their beliefs. That, in my opinion, is wrong. Stay who you are. I love that Coleman wasn’t moved by the view’s rhetoric. You and he are excellent examples of the type of men, other young men, can look up to. For what it’s worth, I admire your parents and the way they raised you. You are a strong, intelligent, Faithful leader. I am so grateful for you Greg and I try to introduce you to those I know. Thankful and may God Bless and keep you well Always.
