No man ever stands as tall than when he stoops to help a child.

Lance Cpl. Myles Kerr, 19 year-old Marine, helps 9 year-old Boden Fuchs finish a 5K race. Boden had asked Kerr, "Sir, will you please run with me?" Kerr, wearing boots and fatigues, and carrying a full backpack, stuck with the boy, encouraged him to complete the race, and helped him reunite with his party at the end of the course—even though Kerr was dead last in his age group, clocking in at 35:43 minutes (five seconds behind Boden). He came in so much later than his Marine buddies, in fact, that they were concerned he had been injured.
