Huge odds mean different things in different countries, especially the third world where the odds of having the basics in life or even life expectency are very poor. 

 

Your grandad sounds like a badass though. I have a friend who had a pretty dangerous gig when fought in the Falklands and Serbia. His job was to Halo jump into the middle of a Battlefield, move forward, gather recon, radio back to his superiors and stay safe whilst the soldiers advance firing mortars etc and try push the enemy back. 

 

Essentially you get blasted from both sides and since you are on the enemies half of the Battlefield, you are also more likely to get caught. I couldn't do anything like what my friend or your grandad did. 

Wow! I'm glad that people like your friend and my grandfather existed. I will always treasure the memory of my grandfather's stories.

Yup, I suppose the reality is that there are many unsung heroes out there that no one knows off. The city in from had this guy who went from being a hardcore drug dealer / gang banger to a godly Saint.

 

He started up 2 charities that have become huge that help people overseas and do national bits too. He barely spent a penny on himself, got rid of the pimps in the area by working with the police and a few locals and used to visit the graveyard everyday, help clean it up and offer prayers. 

 

He has helped build schools, orphanages, hospitals and so much more. He did all this whilst he had cancer and until he last day he refused to stop working and helping. 

 

As you said, we are very fortunate to have people like this. They are essentially the ones who keep the world in balance.
