3/7 To honour the memory of a soldier who was killed in action, Jeff Beurline corded off a special spot at his local bar in Connecticut for Lt. Michael P. Murphy. Beurline bought Murphy a Guinness and propped a reserved sign on the beer alongside an American flag. The bartender not only agreed to pour random strangers a Guinness throughout the day, but also offered to pay the costs.

4/7 To protect the family of Lt. Col. Roy Tisdale from anti-gay protesters on the day of his funeral, Texas A&M students donned maroon and formed a human wall. Westboro Baptist Church members, who often hold demonstrations at military funerals, were planning to stage a protest at Tisdale's funeral, but never showed up. Fortunately, an estimated 650 people in maroon were there to make sure the family could mourn in peace.

6/7 When 8-year-old Johnny Karlinchak saw his neighbour's house crushed by a 60-foot-oak, he ran to his piggy bank and emptied its contents into his neighbor's hands. Unfortunately, the $1.25 would not cover Elissa Myers' $500 deductible so Johnny took to what he knew best - selling lemonade to cover the deficit.
