Lincoln's"Acts of Kindness"

[HerbS]

We all know that Lincoln had many controversial Pardons.But,I thought these"Acts of Kindness"[mercy] were unique.1.While riding in his carriage to The Soldiers Hospital,they almost ran over a young wounded soldier.Lincoln got out and went up to the soldier and noticed that both eyes were blown out.Lincoln hugged him and told him that he was President Lincoln.The next day,Lincoln promoted him and discharged him!2.A mother and father went to see Lincoln to ask to have their wounded son go back home with them so that he could be nursed back to health and battle.Lincoln cried with the parents,and granted them their request.The soldier did heal and went back to battle!
