2:29 He didn't stepped down. He actually stepped forward when no one would. Now that's a hero.

That's what you call"Humility". Thank you and God bless.

My grandfather drove a school bus, in retirement, too. He brought his bus home to clean and wax it. He had the cleanest bus in the yard. Standards matter.

This is what America should be. Are we not tired of the selfishness that seems so depressingly pervasive yet? Seems to me Mike still wants to do the the right thing....and retirement is not going to stand in his way. Still a hero.

I served with Mike back in 1982-1983 in the 3rd AAB Bn at Camp Pendleton. He was always a class act.

Good for you Mike! After I retired I volunteered, I spent 8 years helping women get better skills to get a job or a better job. Very rewarding.
