Moose Rescued!

A moose caught in an avalanche in Alaska has three passing men on snow machines to thank for surviving into the new year.
The men spotted what looked like a nose sticking up out of the snow field, and dug out the moose apparently unharmed.  It was trapped in the area of Hatcher Pass on Dec. 28, and one of the men, Marty Mobley, said that without the group’s help, it would not have survived.

Homeless Veterans Got Home

A historic building in New Orleans damaged by Hurricane Katrina is being renovated and is now housing eleven formerly homeless veterans.
On the Friday before Christmas, Darren Dalpiaz, a 48-year-old Army veteran, was one of the chronically homeless vets who moved into what’s being called their “forever home,” in the 1908 Sacred Heart convent and school.
When completed, the building will house 109 low-income families in apartments, with 54 of them set aside for formerly homeless individuals.
