Even a legend can use just a little assist typically.On Wednesday, retired four-star Military Gen. Colin Powell, 81, skilled a flat tire within the Washington, D.C., space when Anthony Maggert, who has a synthetic leg resulting from an harm suffered in Afghanistan, pulled over to assist.

Just a great story. I really don't think this will end in shouting match here but I may be wrong.

I saw this story on the evening news. A great story that shows there are good people
willing to help when needed.

Just an FYI about the Capital Beltway where Gen Powell broke down. It's a crazy road to drive on.
Lots of traffic, very busy, and fast speeds. Anthony Maggert deserves all the praise he got.
That is a dangerous road to have a flat tire on.
 
Great story. Thanks for sharing it. :)
