:06:03
He always thought about others,
before himself.
:06:05
After an emotional reunion...
:06:07
... veterans watched as station manager,
James Wallace presented Bubber...
:06:12
... with a check for $1 million.
:06:17
As Bubber reacted to
his sudden wealth...
:06:19
... word came that
the Secretary of the Navy...
:06:21
... responding to a resolution
of the Senate...
:06:24
... has conferred upon John Bubber
the Medal of Honor.
:06:28
When you're out on the streets...
:06:30
... living in your car...
:06:33
... the worst thing,
worse than cold or hunger...
:06:35
... is the feeling that
you're plain useless.
:06:38
You don't matter to a single soul
in the entire world.
:06:41
Nobody really needs you,
and nobody really wants you.
:06:45
So I guess I...
:06:48
... I did what I did...
:06:50
... because I was really trying to
save my life more than anything else.
:06:55
Trying to connect myself
with people again...
:06:58
... to be a part of the whole.
:07:00
And you have to help others
in order to do that.
:07:04
You need a role, even if it's a
humble role. It gives you self-worth.
:07:09
I'm not one of those
who says money's not important.
:07:12
It's very important, especially when
you're down and out on your luck...
:07:16
... like I was. A buck can be
the difference between life and death...
:07:20
... but, at the same time,
money isn't everything.
:07:23
Is he like that in real life?
:07:26
So gorgeous?
:07:28
He's pretty remarkable.
:07:31
You didn't get it on with him?
:07:33
Don't be ridiculous. I'm a reporter.
:07:36
Oh, what? Reporters don't
have hormones?
:07:39
Reporters have to rise above
their hormones.
:07:42
- After that, he needs to be a person.
- The guy is a natural.
:07:46
He needs to be part of society.
:07:48
You can be that by helping others.
:07:50
You need to help those
who need help.
:07:54
You've helped me.
You've made me a hero.
:07:57
That makes you a hero.
