New episodes are released every Tuesday.

The building was the World Trade Center’s North Tower and Father Mark Hanna is the only one of the 3 amigos to survive 9/11.

I love the concept of highlighting good folks doing good things. Let's change the USA to be caring and kind regardless of class or creed.

Loved the interview and the story. Full disclosure, I heard this story before thanks to Mike Rowe and his short lived, Emmy winning Facebook program. This is a reminder of the positive impact of simple things in a kids life...a bed!!!
