Your Everyday Hero: Unknown

My wife and I were on vacation in France. We got on to the wrong expressway heading south out of Paris. We stopped to ask directions from a young 20 year old eating lunch under a shade tree. He didn't know English and I didn't know French, but he motioned for me to follow him. He drove 15-20 minutes through country roads to help us get to the correct expressway. He would not accept money for his good deed. He simply smiled and said, "Viva La France." That happened in 1994 and I still tell that story to people who think all French people are rude to Americans. I will never forget his deed.
