Lightning strike survivor uses his second chance at life to give others a second chance, too

A Tennessee man who survived a lightning strike and pulled his company out of financial ruin in the face of a family tragedy is using his second chance at life to give to others across the nation — and give them a second chance, too.
Richard Rogers established the Just One More Foundation last year to openly give second chance opportunities to others. In May, the foundation granted $120,000 to applicants from 17 states. For a long time before that, Rogers anonymously gave money to help people.
"What excites me is giving to someone that is going to enable themselves to give to others and basically pass it along," Rogers said.

President Biden is pardoning LGBTQ+ service members who were convicted of a crime under military law based on their sexual orientation, he is expected to announce Wednesday. The Biden administration estimates the move will affect "thousands" of service members convicted over the six decades that military law formally banned consensual homosexual conduct, senior administration officials told reporters on a call Tuesday.
