A 23-Year-Old Gave Her Life Saving Two Teenaged Girls From Attackers.....

A young, Turkish, and brave-hearted woman heard the screams of two teenaged girls coming from the bathroom of a McDonald’s in Germany. Without a second thought she ran into rescue the girls who scurried away from their attackers. Thankfully, the girls are doing just fine now. But Tugce Albayrak's story has a different ending.

As Tugce was leaving the McDonald’s, the attackers were filled with anger and they retaliated. She was struck and knocked unconscious which left her in a coma for two weeks. When she was pronounced brain dead, on her 23rd birthday, Tugce’s parents decided to take her off of life support. It was just a little while later that Tugce entered into eternity. She will be forever known as a hero.

Tugce’s story touched the heart of Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc. He said, "I wish to God that our daughter Tugce rests in peace. She showed great heroism and made a place in the hearts of the German public."

Now the whole nation of Germany is honoring Tugce’s bravery. There have been candle light vigils with dozens of flowers and pictures of their fallen hero. Hundreds of thousands of people are petitioning that she’d be awarded with a national medal of honor.

Tugce had dreams of becoming a high school teacher. Her passion for young girls that she saved ran deep in her veins. While she was in a coma, one of her friends sent her this encouragement, "One day you will stand in front of a black board again and hopefully have your own class in front of you."

After she passed away that same friend wrote, "Now you are an angel and you will be with us forever."

Thankfully, one of the attackers has been arrested and charged; now police are searching for witnesses. The two teenaged girls are said to be between 13 and 16 years old, have given police their statements and they are forever thankful for Tugce’s courage to save them.

When a young girl offered him some milk and rice pudding as an action of compassion, he realized that there was more to The Way than what he had been taught. He then ...
