Runners Stop Mid-Race to Thank WWII Veteran




World War II veteran Joe Bell was watching and cheering on runners near the end of their race in San Jose, Calif., in full military uniform.
Instead of passing by him, runners began going over to the 95-year-old mid-race to thank him for his service. Bell, who was a corporal in
the Army from 1942 to 1946, said he wore his uniform on Sunday to inspire runners and was taken aback by the support and the gratitude he received.
“They showed a lot of love to me, and they recognized me,” Bell told ABC News today. “I liked that.”

San Jose Mercury News reporter Julia Prodis Sulek filmed the touching salute after looking out her window the morning of the race.
“I saw all these runners going off course from the street onto the sidewalk and wondered why. So I looked further and saw Joe set up out there.
The runners were going up to him to thank him for his service,” Sulek told ABC News today. “It was really beautiful.”

The annual 8-kilometer race benefits the Pat Tillman Foundation, which among other things, funds scholarships for military veterans.
Michelle McCarthy from the foundation said she is incredibly proud of both Bell and the runners who saluted him.
“The runners were leading by example by going out of their way to recognize [Joe],” McCarthy said. “We support a cause that helps veterans, so to see it in action is something else.”

[h=1]Camera bears it all: photographer captures beautiful moment with grizzly bear[/h]
A B.C. photographer hid in the bushes as a grizzly bear wandered up to his camera and started studying the buttons, gently pulling the strap before sauntering off to fish.

Jim Lawrence from Revelstoke, B.C., said he saw the grizzly bear fishing for Kokanee and wandering upstream. He set up his camera, but before he could take a photo, the bear crossed the river towards him. Lawrence ran to get another camera from his truck. When he returned, he found the big bear standing on its hind legs looking at his equipment.

“For the longest time, he studied the screen and the buttons, then, with a huge long-nailed paw, gently tugged on the strap. The weight of the long lens caused the camera to pivot quickly upward, startling the big fellow,” he told the Star.

When asked if he was concerned the bear may break his equipment, he said “it crossed my mind.”
