Nurses arranged John Hyland's hospital bed in Texas with safety in mind. And it's a good thing, the Charlotte native said, because he almost fell out of it early Saturday when he got a phone call from his mother. That's when Hyland, an injured U.S. Army corporal, learned that Charlotte car dealer Rick Hendrick had offered to give the family a new Honda Odyssey, equipped for handicapped use. Hendrick said he was moved to donate the vehicle after reading a story in Saturday's Observer that described how Hyland, 37, needed a specially equipped van to return home to his family after he was badly injured in Iraq. ... Hendrick phoned Hyland on Saturday afternoon and told him he appreciated the sacrifices he had made for his country. He learned during that phone call that Hyland was a NASCAR fan. Hendrick, who owns Hendrick Motorsports, says he'll also ask NASCAR driver Jimmie Johnson to call Hyland. -- Charlotte Observer

I'm sure somebody will find something negative about this. But I'm with you, Good for him. And God bless John Hyland.

Cynicism is one of the properties of negative statements. Who knows or really cares if it was donated with some motive in mind. Someone who gave up life and limb, so we can maintain the ability to complain about HMS, is being given something that will make their life easier.

Deserved or not .... thanks Rick.
