I BE YOUR LEGS

Bob Butler lost his legs in a 1965 land mine explosion in Vietnam.
He returned home a war hero. Twenty years later, he proved once again that
heroism comes from the heart.

Butler was working in his garage in a small town in Arizona on a hot
summer day when he heard a woman's screams coming from a nearby house.
He began rolling his wheelchair toward the house but the dense shrubbery
wouldn't allow him access to the back door. So he got out of his chair
and started to crawl throught the dirt and bushes.

"I had to get there,"he says, "It didn't matter how much it hurt.
"When Butler arrived at the pool there was a three-year-old girl
named Stephanie Hanes lying at the bottom. She had been born without
arms and had fallen in the water and couldn't swim. Her mother stood
over her baby screaming frantically. Butler dove to the bottom of the
pool and brought little Stephanie up to the deck. Her face was blue,
and she had no pulse and was not breathing. Butler immediately went to
work performing CPR to revive her while Stephanie's mother telephoned the
fire department. She was told the paramedics were already out on a call.
Helplessly, she sobbed and hugged Butler's shoulders.

As Butler continued with his CPR, he calmly reassured her."Don't worry,"he said.
"I was her arms to get out of the pool. It'll be okay. I am now her lungs.
Together we can make it." Seconds later the little girl coughed, regained
conciousness, and began to cry. As they hugged and rejoiced together the
mother asked Butler how he knew it would be okay.

"The truth is, I didn't know."he told her. "But when my legs were blown off
in the war, I was all alone in a field. No one was there to help me except
a little Vietnamese girl. As she struggled to drag me into her villiage,
she whispered in broken English, "it's okay. You live. I be your legs.
Together we make it." Her kind word brought hope in my soul and I wanted
to do the same for Stephanie."

There are simply those times when we cannot stand alone. There are those
times when we need Someone to be our legs, arms, and our Friend.
