Number 33 Emerges: The End Of The Rescue

They're singing, cheering, applauding, and waiting for the final miner.

What a moment. The foreman was the last man to leave, and was greeted as a hero, complete with a speech from a beaming President, followed by the singing of the Chilean national anthem, in one of the most heartfelt monotone renditions heard in history.

Let's do keep a good thought for these gents and their families. Nothing is ever the same for anyone who goes through a major life event. Ask your friends who are cancer survivors, or widows of those who didn't survive, or soldiers who make it back after hellish experiences. Everyone will have some adjustments to make.

We have a lot to learn from them, when they choose to tell their stories.

In the meantime, they and their families deserve their privacy and dignity.

God bless them all, and their rescuers from around the world.
