I was at the men's polo (Dillard's) yesterday in Lubbock
and saw a great selfless act. A man and his wife were checking
out, and when he turned around to leave, he noticed a young
serviceman behind him ready to check out.
The couple went out of their way to welcome him back. He told him
that he was only there for a couple of days.Turns out, his grandfather
had just passed away and he was home for the funeral. He confessed
that he had no clothes and that was why he was at the mall.
The man took the clothes from his hands and proceeded to pay for
them when the soldier pleaded that he "didn't have to do that."
The man turned around and said "Just like you didn't have to defend
my freedom. This is my pleasure, son."
The soldier was really grateful, and the sales associate was in tears.
I just thought this story needed to be shared.There really are truly good
people in this world, and in Lubbock, Texas.
To both of these men.......... my hat's off !!!Jesus Bless!
