A True American Hero: The Marine with a Heart of Gold Donates his Kidney
After two tours in Iraq, this soldier returned to a Thanksgiving Dinner that
changed his life. There he learned that Daniel, a scarcely known cousin of his
wife, desperately needed a kidney. So Darren Smiley practiced one of the tenets
of his faith, to make life better for people. With this touching story of a
patriot and compassionate human being, Renal Support Network salutes and honors
the troops risking their lives to defend ours in this special celebration for
July 4th, American Independence Day.
