94 year old Red Cross volunteer and WWII ambulance driver, Marilyn Benemen, walked down to the hospital to help out those injured in the recent London bombing:
“Oh, when you’re Red Cross, you’re expected to do it. Oh, yes, if you’re in walking distance, I think you should turn up. And long as you can just soothe people down and an extra cup of tea, a spot of tea, yes–it’s a wicked, wicked thing, though. You say, `Well, the world’s got to go on. Everything’s got to go on. You can’t give in to these things.’ And so one presses on.”
