During a veteran’s funeral, heavy rain began to fall. A soldier stood motionless, soaked through, guarding the casket of the deceased. Many watched, but only one stepped forward: 14-year-old Moises.
Thinking of his own late father, also a soldier, Moises instinctively walked over and raised his umbrella over the guard. He stood silently in the rain, shielding the soldier from the downpour, his young face wet with tears and raindrops.
The image of a boy protecting a soldier in honor became a moment etched in everyone’s memory. Sometimes the greatest respect and compassion are expressed not with grand speeches but with quiet, selfless actions. Moises showed the world that kindness, dignity, and honor can live in even the youngest hearts.
