Remember Teen Who Got Help From Good-hearted Target Workers? His Big Interview Was Caught on Camera:
By Juan Leon

A few weeks ago, 15-year-old Yasir Moore walked into a North Carolina Target, looking to buy a tie for a job interview. A day later, he became an internet sensation.

A Target shopper, Audrey Mark, noticed store employees helping the teenager put on his new tie and snapped a photo of the uplifting scene. Moore’s story made headlines after Mark uploaded the photo to Facebook.

Last Thursday, the North Carolina teen went into the Triangle Town Center Mall Chik-fil-A for his final interview. Yasir got the job and also received his own Chik-fil-A tie.

That’s when the Target crew members who helped him a few weeks ago came out of hiding. Moore and the Target employees shared a warm moment. Moore commented:

“They’re like family to me now, because they helped me so much.”

And once again — just like the first time — Target worker Dennis Roberts helped the young man put on his tie.

His Transformation After Diving In Front of a Grenade Will Have You Believing in the Human Spirit:
By Bubba Atkinson(shorten it down).

Maybe you’ve heard of Kyle Carpenter, who dove in front of an incoming grenade in Afghanistan in 2010 to protect a fellow Marine.



In 2014, he became the 8th and youngest living recipient of the Medal of Honor.


From the Medal of Honor Citation:

“Without hesitation and with complete disregard for his own safety, Lance Corporal Carpenter moved toward the grenade in an attempt to shield his fellow Marine from the deadly blast. When the grenade detonated, his body absorbed the brunt of the blast, severely wounding him, but saving the life of his fellow Marine

The Wounded Warrior doesn’t forget the importance of family.


My beautiful mother. From brushing my teeth when my arms were tied up in the hospital to lending me your shoulder after my ceremony four years later, you’re always there. Thank you and I love you.

This is what he looks like now:

Trucker Catches a Girl’s Face Peeking Out of RV Window. What He Saves Her from is Beyond Horrific.:
By Justen Charters

When Kevin Kimmel parked at a truck stop in New Kent County, Virginia, he probably didn’t expect that he would save somebody’s life.

However, as Kimmel was sitting in his rig, he noticed a suspicious looking RV with black drapes. Then, he saw a distraught young girl’s face take a glimpse out of the RV window.

A few moments later a man knocked on the RV door and went into a Pilot Gas Station nearby. After the man exited the station, he headed right back to the RV. Kimmel told Richmond CBS affiliate WTVR:

“I saw a guy come up and knock on the door then go inside the Pilot–then quickly came back and knocked again, all of the sudden the thing was rocking and rolling.”

Kimmel, a veteran trucker, said it was a no brainer what was going on, so he dialed deputies.

When the authorities arrived, they arrested a couple who had been forcing a 2o-year-old girl into sex slavery. The girl was malnourished and tortured by her captors.

The affidavit reported the girl’s feet being punctured, nails being hammered into her, and that she even sustained severe burns from having a hot key pressed into her flesh. The key was how the traffickers branded the girl.

Kimmel, who is a father and grandfather said of his actions, “I’m just happy I helped her.”

As human trafficking is the fastest growing criminal industry in the world, it’s important that we all remain vigilant when we see something out of the ordinary like Kimmel did.

Who knows, you may just save someone’s life.

An update on the teen that was helped by Target employees(trimmed down to avoid links):

The Teen Target Helped Prepare for His Big Interview Finally Lands the Job: At Chick-Fil-A:
By Lawrence Bonk

In need of a heartwarming story this Sunday?
Remember that awesome teen who went viral after he hit up Target to buy a tie for a job interview? Here's a refresher, just in case.


Guess what? He got the job!
Teenager Yasir Moore’s job interview was at an area Chik-fil-A. After a trio of kind-hearted Target employees taught him how to properly tie a tie, and how to conduct a job interview, he used his new found confidence to rock it.
When asked by Chik-fil-A when he could start, Moore smiled ear-to-ear and beamed ‘I can start tomorrow.’

After receiving the good news, the North Carolina 15-year old went back to Target to find and thank his newfound friends.
“They’re like family to me now, because they helped me so much.”


Maybe those Target employees have earned a raise, since they have given the company millions of dollars of positive press just by being decent human beings! #TeamTargetTrio
