The most heartwarming story I've seen.

Say what you will about Americans, I agree most of it is true, but the the American spirit and generosity to others never ceases to amaze me.

What a truly sweet woman. She must do so much for the familys of these poor servicemen - my heart goes out to her.

I had a massive lump in my throat whilst watching that - thanks Swifty

I was very curious about her first name, Katiah. Never heard it before. Turns out it's derived from the Hebrew word "K'tziya", one of the spices included in the incense burned in the Temple in Jerusalem.

The English name for this plant family is Cassia, of the cinnamon family.

An unusual name for an unusually amazing lady.
