There he goes again. Todd Platts just continued his policy of doing good things for York County people without news reports or fanfare.
I just heard another report of one of these deeds. A young Marine, who just finished his third tour in war zones was out in California going through debriefing. At this point, that was finished, but they still hadn't been released to go home.
This Marine had a special reason to want to get home. His wife was about to give birth to their second child. It did not look like he was going to get home in time. That is, until someone spoke to Todd Platts on his behalf.
Things happened.
He flew in over the weekend, and was greeted by his 2 1/2 year old daughter who told everyone that "her daddy was in "Raq." And she told her grammy that when he got home, she was going to give him a big, big hug. And so she did. Hugged his legs, and wouldn't let go of her daddy.
Daddy was by his wife's side when their new little daughter came into the world on Monday. Hero and family are doing well. Very well. Even one of their two dogs has barely left his "papa" out of his sight, and the dog's non-stop wagging tail must have exhausted the canine!
We know for a fact that Mr. Platts did not do this for a "constituent" or a "voter." He did it for a family who has served their country over and over.
More than one hero here!!
It does not suprise me that Todd Platts would do that. He is such a refreshing change from most of the other ................ in congress. He actually lives here and travels to D.C. daily. I believe that he is the type of representative our founding fathers had in mind. I don't always agree with him, but I do not doubt for a second that whatever position he takes on an issue is the result of thought and based on principles and the U.S. Constitution.
