In Peoria, Arizona, a remarkable moment unfolded as Investigator William “Bill” Weigt, paralyzed in the line of duty fourteen years ago, stood for the national anthem with the aid of a state-of-the-art wheelchair.
A heartwarming image circulated on Facebook captured Weigt presenting the American flag at the Arizona Special Olympics, stirring up emotions across the nation, as reported by Today.
“After 14 years, I’ve longed to stand for the national anthem,” shared Weigt with Today. “Initially overwhelming, it was incredibly exhilarating.”
Weigt’s life changed in 2005 when he was shot during a suspect pursuit, resulting in paralysis. As a former infantry soldier in the United States, the opportunity to ‘finally’ stand for the flag held profound significance for him, he expressed to KPHO.
Our thoughts and go out to Sandra Bullock
After being out of the public eye for two years, Sandra Bullock is ready to come back. Sandra has been slowly making her way back into the entertainment business and the public eye since August 2023, when her longtime partner Bryan Randall died of ALS. A source told Us Weekly that Sandra is “excited about the future” and “ready to play again.”
The last time Sandra was seen was on July 12 in Beverly Hills, smiling at the photographers. She turned 60 on July 26. Sandra stopped acting after saying in March 2022 that she would be taking a break. She was in over 50 movies, including “Miss Congeniality” and “The Blind Side.”
Sandra is now set to star with Nicole Kidman in Practical Magic 2, the follow up to the cult classic Practical Magic. Someone who knows Sandra said that she is “really excited” about the project and can’t wait to spend time with Nicole.
Sandra is “open to the possibility” of dating again in the future, but she is still focused on her kids and getting better after Bryan’s death. She is slowly getting back to the life and career she loves, even though it has been hard at times.
