A Little Bit of Awesome: 4/2/2021 Edition

Jaxson Dempsey is awesome. Jaxson is 8 years-old and he just saved his kid sisters life. They were in the back of their dad’s car when his sister started choking on a chicken nugget. But then, Jaxson remembered a scene from a show on Nickelodeon and jumped into action.
That kid is awesome.


It going to get a little dusty in here. A Marine Master Sergeant held back tears while giving his son his “first salute” after being commissioned as a Second Lieutenant.
That’s awesome.
