They didn’t see the Metro bus hit the man, but they heard the thud, which jolted them from the quiet rhythm of their run. U.S. Army Sgts. John Russell and Brian Williams rushed to a man lying on the Mall on Wednesday morning and let their training from Afghanistan and Iraq take over. They turned bystanders’ T-shirts into tourniquets to stem blood flowing from a badly fractured leg and dress a gash on the victim’s forehead. The last time Russell and Williams encountered casualties, they were under fire in Afghanistan, separately treating soldiers felled by insurgent snipers and a roadside bomb that overturned an armored vehicle.

I'm certain that there's a lot of good stuff happening in the world as well, we just don't hear about them all that much.
