My screen got fuzzy when I read this. Maybe I'm just a hopeless optimist, but I still think there is some good folks out there.


Just a month after finding out that he'd been robbed, an Oklahoma veteran will continue to run his landscaping business, which hires vets, thanks to a nonprofit group's donation of $15,000 worth of new equipment on Friday.

Cody Nichols, who served in the Marines, owns and operates Our Troops Services, a small business in Tulsa that hires veterans for landscaping, fencing and construction jobs. His company took a hit on May 20 when he discovered that all of his equipment had been taken.

Nichols and his fellow veterans were left with nothing but a couple of donated push mowers to continue working, but they soon fell behind.

The veteran’s luck turned around on Friday, though, when a nonprofit group, Soldier’s Wish, surprised Nichols with $15,000 worth of new lawn equipment, the Tulsa World reported.

“We’re going to survive. I really thought our company was going to die,” Nichols said according to the publication.

Nichols, who said he's been adding new customers recently, will now continue his work thanks to a commercial riding mower and the generosity of others in the military community.

This renews my faith in humanity.

Hopefully they find whoever stole the equipment and introduce them to it, feet first.

There’s still good people in the world.

Label me an optimist but I'm of the opinion that the good outweighs the bad. There are kind acts and good deeds done daily. Some make headlines most do not.

Stories such as this are heartwarming but by no means rare. I'm happy for this veteran and his outfit.

All the news outlets around here ran with that story for a few days. It was a welcome break from all the shootings and murders.

It’s situations like this where I wish I could win the powerball when it’s up at 15 plus million.

That donation will keep vets in a job.
