Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors Army Veteran Jonathan Ceplecha. Jonathan is retired from the military and teaches at risk kids at a school 40 miles from his home. A few months ago, Jonathan wanted to clear some trees on his property to better his view to the river, that’s when he was put in a life threatening situation. A tree fell on him and pinned him to the ground. With no one to hear his cries for help, he spent the next 4 days pinned under the tree. He said he relied on his Army training. He looked at the facts, drank rain water and used nearby plants for nutrients. The ordeal claimed part of his lower leg, and he also survived a battle with Covid during his recovery but Jonathan says his attitude is positive. An amazing story, thank you Jonathan for your service.
