BRAZIL, Ind. (Sept. 23, 2015)-- Adam Jay Perkins II, 8, has a birthday request that might be a little different than wishes of other boys his age.
The Van Buren Elementary second grader is asking all of his friends to skip the presents and give a gift to veterans.
"My mom asked me if I wanted to do a charity and I said, 'Yes,'" he said. "She said, 'Do you want to do Disabled American Veterans?' I said, 'Yes, my dad's a veteran.'"

Parenting done right. It is great that he has a sense of what it means to serve. It is great that he is giving back at his age. Just when I think there is no hope for humanity, I read something like this, and there is hope for the future.
