Inspired by that fishing trip 11 years ago, he founded Operation Open Arms, which has since helped nearly 3 400 US troops and given out more than $12 million in direct benefits with his charity. Operation Open Arms also provides free weddings, vacations, and more leisurely activities to veterans, and can rely on a network of over 300 businesses and individual partners to get former soldiers anything they might need upon returning home from army.The former marines heartwarming generosity is a result of his own experiences in the military and the pride he has for his country. I do this because I love my country and I do this because America is the greatest country in the world, he told NBCs Today Show. Bunchs unwavering commitment goes so far that he once turned down an invitation from then-President George W. Bush, because he had already scheduled a fishing trip with one of his veterans.

Then, suddenly, the applause came.“Thank you so much,” I said, turning to Olga, my piano teacher for six years. “Youve been an amazing student all these years,” she said, “and I hope that whatever you do, you never stop practicing.”I leaned forward, promising I would always keep playing because I loved piano, and hugged her.It turned out to be that promises werent as meaningful as Id hoped for them to be. Right after quitting, I kept up my strict practicing schedule. Soon, it began slipping away from me. After all, the reason I had stopped taking lessons was that my schedule was busy with homework. Not long after, I stopped practicing altogether. It was pleasing not to have to stress about piano anymore. But something was shifting inside of me. I was empty inside.One day I met Michelle, who had also taken piano lessons from Olga for quite a while.“So, are you still taking lessons from Olga?” She asked.“Um, no, actually I just quit a while ago,” I replied quickly.“Oh, thats a shame,” she responded, “You used to be so good I remember your performance a year ago; it was breathtaking.”Two days after talking to Michelle, I subconsciously(潜意识地)sat down on the bench and started playing.
