Larry Thompson is a Lieutenant in the Arlington Fire Department who felt called to go to Haiti back in 2012 and serve earthquake victims.  He has since formed a nonprofit called The Least of These Foundation that feeds and educates 240 children on an island off the coast from Port-au-Prince, Haiti.  His story is a great example of the impact that a “regular guy” can have when honoring his or her calling and simply determining not to give up.
