Good Deeds Deserve Notice: A Local Hero's Dying Wish

January 28, 2016
 Ted Tuttle

Editor

UPDATE: Travis is no longer in pain, having passed away early in the morning on Saturday, May 28th. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Travis Peterson accepted death 20 years ago. He just didn’t know how it would come.

After fighting fires for nearly 15 years, this Assistant Fire Chief from Cache County, Utah spent the last year and a half fighting for his own life. Late in summer of 2014, Peterson started noticing numbness in his right hand and found out it was fibrosarcoma. It soon spread to his lungs and lymph nodes and that’s where he stands today---battling terminal lung cancer.

Ever since he was a little boy, Peterson had two career paths he wanted to pursue---either a fighter pilot or a fireman. He ended up following his father's footsteps and becoming a fire fighter.

Upon learning of his condition, coworkers and community members rallied to Peterson's support. They launched a GoFundMe campaign to give him the chance to fly in a fighter jet.

Chazz Pearmain, who set up the fund, described Peterson as an "awesome fireman who has saved many lives, good father and my friend." A huge Top Gun fan, his only bucket list wish is to fly in a fighter jet.

"It’s what I’ve always wanted to do," Peterson said.

Moved by the compassion of his community in granting this wish, Peterson said he hopes he can leave this world being remembered simply as "a good dude."

For however much longer he has to live, he wants to spend as much time as possible with his family.

"I’m willing to trade one, two or three years of whatever that aggressive chemo might buy me while living in the hospital for four, six or eight months of being able to do what I want---to take my daughter to school, pick her up from school, and take her to lunch when she wants to and be at all her school things---even if it’s for a shorter period of time," Peterson said. "We made that decision as a family."

According to the GoFundMe page, all money left over will go to help with medical bills. Watch the video below, courtesy of Good Deed Revolution.

Glenn Beck: Did you hear Biden's Great Reset WARNING SHOT to Banks?

It should come as no surprise that a newsworthy story receives more media coverage when released on a Monday than a Friday. The reason is in part due to a large number of news-consuming Americans checking out for the week to focus on their weekend plans rather than the news.

On Monday's radio program, Glenn Beck shared information that President Joe Biden decided to release on Friday — when fewer people would notice — regarding the Climate Finance report. This report is marketed to Americans as "A Roadmap To Build a Climate-Resilient Economy." But Glenn believes the report to be Biden's Great Reset warning shot to banks.

In this clip, Glenn warned that if Americans don't stand together, in eight years we all indeed will own nothing. Watch the clip for the full story. Can't watch? Download the podcast here.

Bill O'Reilly: Mark Zuckerberg spent $419.5 million to influence the 2020 election

On today's radio program, Glenn Beck was joined by Bill O'Reilly to discuss the top stories of the week.

For O'Reilly, the biggest story this week centered around someone mysteriously missing from mainstream media news reports today: Mark Zuckerberg. Specifically, O'Reilly said it's the 'scandalous' way the Facebook CEO spent nearly $420 million to influence the 2020 election — and did so successfully.

INSANITY: High schooler ARRESTED after not wearing mask at school tells her story

On Thursday's radio program, Grace Smith and her father, Andy, joined Glenn Beck on the phone and provided a first-hand account of Grace's refusal to wear a mask at school.

Smith, 16, began a maskless protest after her school district in Laramie, Wyoming, decided to implement a mask mandate. As a result, Grace received three suspensions, was issued two $500-citations, and was eventually arrested.

"How long were you in jail?" Glenn asked.

Grace said was taken to jail but was never booked nor was she was placed in a jail cell.

Glenn commended Grace's father, Andy, for raising such a "great citizen" and asked if it was Grace's idea to protest. Andy said it was Grace's idea, explaining that they took the position of arguing on the grounds of civil rights rather than the efficacy of wearing a mask.

Grace has since withdrawn from public school and started a home school program. She also told Glenn that she will continue to fight the school district, legally.

WATCH: The DIVIDED States of America: Is It Time for a National Divorce?

It seems the Left wants a civil war and some on the Right want a national divorce. The country is split right now unlike anything Glenn Beck has ever witnessed. There are two sides: Those who want to fundamentally change this country and those who believe in KEEPING the experiment of liberty that the Founding Founders intended.

The ideological gap seems impossible to cross, but Glenn explains why he won't secede. David Reaboi, Claremont Institute senior fellow and author of "National Divorce Is Expensive, but It's Worth Every Penny," tells Glenn why a national breakup is not an impossibility just because it will be difficult.

What can we do to fight back … peacefully? How can the states that still believe in the Constitution create pockets of freedom in the shadow of tyranny? On his Wednesday night special this week, Glenn answers that and provides a road map to preserving what the Left is trying to destroy.

Finally, James Simpson, author of "Who Was Karl Marx? The Men, the Motives and the Menace Behind Today's Rampaging American Left," provides solutions on the issues the "red states" must unite around before Left and Right America officially call it quits.
