ORUJason Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I met Austin Anderson on a flight in December of last year. We talked for probably an hour and a half about his vision for becoming a liaison between the military and ORU. He felt that many of the troops ending their rotations and heading back to civilian life would have fit in well attending college at ORU and his vision was to establish a link to increase the number of military personnel who ended up attending ORU. He was a very impressive individual and a true example of the best that the military and ORU have to offer. He did 1 and maybe more tours of duty in the middle east over the recent past. There are probably others who know him better and could fill in the details. He was one of the senior cheerleaders who was honored at Senior night just over 2 months ago. I'm sure each of these people were amazing individuals just like Austin. My prayers go out to the families, loved ones, friends and acquaintances of those who were lost.

BasPlayr Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Sad, sad story, but the heroism by that young man lessens the pain somewhat. What a terrific, selfless, and truly Christian act. I know the ORU family is proud to have known him. Our family's thoughts and prayers go out to those families in this time of need. We will also keep the ORU "family" in our prayers as well. God Bless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
