Several hundred American have gotten into their own vehicles to drive over 700 miles to get ready to help total strangers in the immediate wake of a natural disaster.

They have paid for this out of their own pockets and have done this without any expectation of reimbursement.

They are doing this because they want to and they experienced first had how rural people, far from population centers are under served by goverment first responders.

These are overwhelmingly working Americans who have been insulted and written off as “flyover country rubes” and declared to be “racist, sexist, xenophobes” by the media and select politicians.

Still out of the goodness of their hearts and their love for their fellow countrymen, the are putting themselves in harms way to help.

Keep an eye on this story over the next several days and the 2018 hurricane season in general.  I suspect that you are going to see the same thing over and over again.  There are going to be a lot of American flags, Trump and NRA window stickers, and Red state license plates among those who volunteer.

The Left leaning elite loved to deride these people as much as they can, but I don’t see a lot of Liberals driving pickups south down I-95 to lend a helping hand.
