Video I love: A hero named Philip

Posted on by
Once a week, I post a video I’ve seen recently that I’m loving. So here’s this week’s Video I love …

A man named Philip once fought for the country he loves. Now, he fights for equal rights for one of his four sons. It’s a beautiful speech. If you haven’t seen it yet, please take a moment to watch.

Philip Spooner, an 86 year old WWII veteran

Now, that’s a hero.

“At the end of the day, this is not about their editorial pages or the opinions of their columnists,” Robinson said. “This is about the celebration pages reflecting the community, and a community is going to have people from many very different walks of life. We are diminished if our stories are put aside.”
