Jimmy John's employee drives veteran to hospital after his panicked sibling calls sub shop by mistake A phone call to a wrong number in Nebraska delivered just what a man in pain needed: a ride to a hospital. Lisa Nagengast said a driver for a Jimmy John's sandwich shop rescued her brother, Greg Holeman, on Saturday night after he called her just as she arrived at the Tampa, Fla., airport. She had been in Nebraska to help Holeman get to his Columbus home after spinal fusion surgery three days earlier in Omaha. He called her in great pain and said he was oozing blood and his left leg had gone numb, Nagengast said. Her brother is a veteran living on disability and didn't have Department of Veterans Affairs' approval to call an ambulance, she said. He also couldn't afford a taxi to a hospital, she said.
"She was a little panicky," Voss told the Omaha World-Herald on Tuesday. "At that point I figured I should take a minute to think about it. It was obviously not someone making something up; it was an actual situation going on." It took Nagengast a little while to realize she hadn't reached her brother's social worker.
Voss called delivery driver Zach Hillmer, who picked up Holeman and drove him to a hospital emergency room. Hillmer, a U.S. Navy veteran, said it was a privilege to help a fellow military man. Sam Nixon, operating partner of Columbus' Jimmy John's, said he was proud. "Those guys did that on their own accord, and that's what was so special about it," Nixon said. Nagengast said her brother is back at home and doing OK. |

Rich, Thanks for sharing that story. It is the type of thing that reminds me that there are still people out there who care about others. It is nice to know they are willing to help others even if they don't know them. |

I hope this makes the national news, instead of all the political crap all day, every day. Thanks for posting it. |
