The story of Lt. Withers is a truly remarkable and one for the right cause. The story is very emotional as it relates to past not many want to remember. Lt. Withers was a black soldier in the US Military that was on a mission in Europe. At the time the country and military were segregated and Lt. Withers was in an all black unit. While in Europe he run into two boys, two Jewish boys, that were lost and left without family or anything in the life as they ones knew. Lt. Withers fell close to the boys and offered them help by providing shelter, food and clothes. Even though Lt. Withers knew that if he was going to let them stay he would encounter opposition and could potentially be discharged from the military. The boys were Holocaust survivors from Dachau and Lt. Withers decided to help the boys. The article talks about the time they shared, the bond they had which was strengthened by the fact that both of these groups experienced discrimination.  The actions taken by Lt. Withers were truly humanitarian and with the right cause and as such should be evaluated by military. By not following orders,  offering resistance and encouraging change can be of great importance to all, as leaders are born from the events like one described in this article.
