You Might Be Rich!

Did anyone happen to catch this new program on Dateline NBC last night called, "You Might Be Rich!" with Tiki Barber? Well, I did and it was moving and inspiring!

The premise of the program is finding people who have unclaimed property, money, etc. Some people had hundreds of thousands of dollars returned and some a few hundred.

I was incredibly moved when they featured one woman who lost her husband last year. He was a wounded Vietnam vet. The long and short is that he was awarded a purple heart for his brave service, which she assumed was packed in a box when she moved. She didn't know that it was being held because the state did not know how to return it to her since they were not able to locate her. They had a beautiful ceremony to return it to her--which included current servicemen and three men who served with him in Vietnam the day of the brutal attack that left him injured. I was sobbing. It was incredibly patriotic and you could see the love this woman has for her husband.

I encourage you to check it out. Click here. It was funny, tearful, and heartwarming all wrapped up into one.

Have a great day!

In gratitude,
Deanna
