This man is my new favorite human.

His eyes tell a story of a life including love, honor, patriotism, grit, and gratitude. God bless him and all affected by the flood. 🙏🏻

I'll be damned if he's not right about that tree.

“What do you find beautiful?” “My wife.” I love that immediate gut answer. Bless them. ❤️🇺🇸🥰

… it’s way too early for me to be crying like this..but what a great reminder that there are still precious people like this man ..

I've met Woody before at a VFW thing. He's good people

This is sad and simultaneously uplifting .

@SecDef @POTUS @FLOTUS what a beautiful soul this retired veteran is..

❤️This is how most real Texans are. And his tree is absolutely beautiful.

This man is the epitome of so many Texans that love their country, love their families and love God. It's the true natural feelings of so many of us that just want it to be a bit easier to recover, a bit easier to rebuild, and the love and comfort of other people who love their life. w/o all the people trying to tear us down. He spoke of his "grandkid's" cabin. We want a few acres and perhaps something other than just love to leave as our legacy. #wannaownapieceoflandsomeday

He has a gofundme:

This is a man folks, “This video captures the heart of what it means to be a veteran. Most of us, including myself, raised our right hand to serve because of the compassion and dedication we hold in our hearts.” Few of you should, “Try serving instead of whining” you might just grow up into a decent human being!

A good soul for sure. So sorry for all that you have lost & thank you for your service. Beautiful tree by the way 🇺🇸🫡

"What do you find beautiful?" "My wife, that tree,...the river His wife and nature. Love this human.

Great American..... hope nothing but the best for him and his family

"If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change" My favorite quote. This lovely soul, even through tragedy finds peace. God Bless him. 🙏

He’s so right. Imagine the world happy and healthy. Think of the heights that could be reached. The video tugs at my heart also with the music, “Claire de Lune,” because that was the song my father loved so much and asked me to play for him on our piano so often when I was growing up. He was also a WWII Navy veteran.

Here is the proof that decent people exist. Love this man and the world needs to see more of him and others like him.

❤️❤️I love him!

God Bless this man and thank him for his service. I’m sorry he lost so much. The tree is still growing strong and a symbol of strength.

@Laurenzz12qcm God bless.Prayers for Texasand the peace and comfort that only God can give that last.

I like the part at the very end, “if you ever come through…” He was going to invite for a meal and a visit, because showing hospitality is as sweet as it gets.

He is what I imagined the average american to be. Generous and kind.

this mans heart is beautiful. and I seem to think that people like me/us feel the same way about life its simple, loving beautiful. Anything less is INSANITY.GODBLESS ALL. When will the masses wake up to this Spirituality. 🙏♥️

Sir, that is indeed a most beautiful tree, and the best reason I have heard to move somewhere. I hope you can rebuild.

Good interview. Honest reporter. Beautiful answers. ❤️

God bless this man and his family 🙏🏻

Mine too. We should have beautiful human awards and if we did, this man would definitely win one. He’s a simple man, nothing extraordinary but he definitely lets God and Country be his compass.

God Bless ❤️❤️❤️
