I was walking into Aldi in Moberly just now to pick up some essentials. An older gentleman approached me. He had a gentle smile and was wearing a US Marine Corps hat that said ‘United We Stand’ on it.
He had a stack of 100-dollar bills in his hand and was handing one to every person who entered the store. He said he was paying for our groceries today. When I refused to take it, he said he was a retired Marine with no one to care for except himself. He said Americans are hurting, and he is helping the only way he knows how.
The ladies at the checkout said he had been out there all morning long.
This is what America is all about you guys. There are truly angels among us. I’m at a total loss for words right now. Leaving here to go pay this forward.
