| Hey, you know how I love hearing great American success stories and sharing them all with you. | |
| Well, our favorite t-shirt, underwear, sock company, Tommy John, well, that's one of them. | |
| Now, Tom Patterson grew up in a small town in South Dakota. | |
| After college, he had a successful career. | |
| He was selling medical devices on the West Coast. | |
| But he quickly became fed up with the way his undershirt kept coming untucked. | |
| So despite having zero background in men's fashion whatsoever, Tom sketched up some designs for smarter undergarments. | |
| Now, starting out of his apartment and growing Tommy John to the globally recognized company it is today. | |
| Well, he achieved Tom Did the American Dream. | |
| Now, of course, they're super soft, they're undershirts. | |
| Guess what? | |
| They never come untucked. | |
| Plus all of Tommy John underwear is backed by the best pair you'll ever wear, guarantee, or it's free. | |

| So on Sunday, in what can only be described as a pure act of evil, you have a deranged gunman opening fire at a church service at First Baptist in Sutherland Springs, Texas, killing at least 26 wounding another 20. | |
| Now, in the midst of this tragedy, two heroes emerge. | |
| Local plumber Stephen Willeford heard the shots coming from the church, grabbed his gun, and shot the attacker, left him wounded. | |
| And as the attacker got into his car, Willeford ran into a fellow resident, Johnny Langerdorf, and they explained what had happened at the church, and he asked for help tracking down the shooter. | |
| The two men go at 95 miles per hour in a high-speed car chase, ended up with the attacker losing control of the vehicle. | |
| Now, because of these local heroes, well, many people could have been saved. | |
| Their lives could have been saved. | |
| And yes, they were armed. | |
