A 9-year-old Massachusetts boy who earned an all-expenses-paid Disney World vacation through an innovative Facebook experiment gave the trip away to the family of a soldier killed in Afghanistan.

Brendan Haas created the "Soldier for a Soldier" Facebook page in February. Inspired by the story of the guy who, through a series of trades, turned a paper clip into a house, Haas started with a toy soldier and eventually traded up to $900 worth of Disney gift certificates, airfare and hotel credits.

On Memorial Day, Haas gave the trip to the family of U.S. Army Lt. Timothy Steele, a 25-year-old soldier killed in Afghanistan last year. According to NBC's WHDH-TV affiliate, Haas pulled the name of Liberty Hope Steele, the fallen soldier's now-2-year-old daughter, out of a hat and surprised the Steele family at their Duxbury, Mass., home.  ...

Isn't that great?  Gives you hope that the world isn't completely filled with DUmmies, dipshits, and self-centered jerks.

I'll admit, I shed a tear at this one. It is so touching. That is a great kid.

The reality is.............it's not. As with all things Liberal they whine, cry, and bitch loudly enough, plus with the help of the Left Wing Media, that they seem more that what they really are.

Think about, we, as Conservatives, don't go out marching, banging pots, yelling in megaphones, or staging sit-ins. We would rather live life.

This kid is truly mature. More mature than adults.

Thanks, kid. This one's for you. :cheersmate:

It's nice to see young children doing this for our military families.  Really, ANY family.  I'm just amazed.  Disney gave that kid his own free trip, but he plans to give that trip away to another military family.  Love it.

That kid will be enriched greatly as he continues to be charitable. What you give is returned in abundance.

Disney misses the train if they don't work with this.
Very good PR potential.
