Retired United States Army First Class Sergeant Luciano Yulfo was being honored recently at a New York Knicks game in Madison Square Garden when something happened that he was never expecting.
When Yulfo was brought down to the court, he had no idea the team’s Hoops For Troops had a big surprise for him!
During his 36 years in the military, Yulfo served in both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. He medically retired from active duty in 2014 after he was injured while deployed in Afghanistan. After being injured, Yulfo was stationed at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for 2 years. He finally retired from the military in April of 2016, 36 years after he enlisted.
As soon as Yulfo got back to the U.S., he applied for a service dog to help him deal with the injuries he suffered overseas, but he found himself placed on a waiting list for 18 months. When the Knicks heard about this, they knew they had to do something to help him.
Between quarters, the team brought Yulfo onto the court and gave him a personalized Knicks jersey. They then left him speechless by giving him a new service dog!
An organization called Paws of War trains and places rescue dogs with U.S. military veterans, and they decided to give a dog named Murphy to Yulfo! Each dog is trained specifically for the needs of the individual veteran they are serving, so Murphy is already completely prepared to help Yulfo!
Yulfo was overwhelmed by this gesture and he immediately dropped to his knees to greet the dog. It is clear that these two will be best friends for many years to come!

Woman Was Upset And Told Grandmother That Her Husband Cheated On Her, Granny Had A Great Response
Grandmother responded admirably when the upset woman revealed to her that her husband had cheated on her.
It’s not uncommon for life to be challenging at times, requiring us to confront issues and confide in those we love and trust to help us feel less alone.
When a woman found out her husband was having an extramarital affair, her entire life fell apart. She went to speak with and give an explanation to her grandmother.
The elderly woman responded, “Come with me into the kitchen and observe.” There, she filled three pots to the brim with boiling water and added an egg, a carrot, and some coffee beans.

The woman’s grandmother advised her to have patience despite her confusion. Not too long afterward, she instructed her granddaughter to remove the carrot from the water and clarify the effects of the water on the vegetable.

In response, the granddaughter said that although it hardened the egg, it weakened the carrot’s root. The coffee beans in the third pot were the ones who altered the water.

Then the grandma asked her to choose between the coffee beans, the carrot, and the egg to see which one she was. Sometimes facing challenges in life softens us and makes us more tolerant and adaptable. At other times, it fortifies and strengthens us.
But if we make the decision to be a coffee bean, we try our hardest to improve ourselves and alter circumstances to better fit us. We do not allow outside factors to affect us.
That day, the woman gained invaluable knowledge.
