0:03 Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with five good do stories good news from during the week. A purple heart that belonged to a World War II veteran from Illinois. It had spent decades in a safe deposit box. It was a returned to his family in time for Veterans Day. The purple heart was awarded to US Army rifleman James Bennett during World War Two and ended up in the possession of Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frericks as part of Operation Purple Heart, a program that Michael launched to return military medals from abandoned safe deposit boxes to their rightful owners. He explained, we have to do a bit of homework detective work out there. We worked with the media. Chicago Tribune helped us track down some of these families because it's not always easy. Mister Bennett passed away in nineteen ninety, age seventy six. His wife passed away seven years later. Their niece, Patty, said she didn't know about the safety deposit box until she was contacted about the purple heart. She explained, when my aunt and uncle passed, a lot of the items were also passed on.

1:03 I didn't know about this. This is exciting. He was a really great guy. I'm going to display it at home and I want to take a picture and send it to all the relatives that are left alive and share it with them too. And I hope this encourages other people to look into getting their purple hearts from their family members.

Scientists in England have developed a new jail that can repair and regenerate dental enamel that could significantly change the way tootsak is treated. The gel can be applied quickly, kind of like fluoride. This is awesome, but it's fluoride free.

It acts as a scaffold, drawing calcium and phosphate ions from saliva and promoting the growth of new mineral that integrates with underlying tissue that allows regenerated enamel to recover both the structure and properties of natural healthy enamel. Awesome, good job, scientists. Good news for a cow in Germany. The cow was on its way to be slaughtered. That's not the good news, quite the opposite. The cow escapes while being transported. The cow spent about ten weeks wandering in the woods and came to be friends and lived with a flock of two hundred sheep. A local shepherd told the newspaper she sniffed the sheep, mingled with the sheep and seems to feel right at home with the sheep. She now behaves almost like a sheep, and she's taken to the herd without any problems. The sheep eventually moved on from the pasture as sheep do. The cow stayed behind. The cow is tranquilized. Was going to be a return of the owner, but the owner said, you know what, the cow ere in this one. The cow was turned over to the local Animal Welfare Association. In a social media post, they said of the cow, may her future be filled with happiness, care and a care free life in Australia where every third thing will kill you.
