Are You Hungry
The soldier’s heart melted on hearing those words. He kept his food aside and in the most generous manner asked the boys if they had their dinner yet. It was raining heavily outside and the weather was cold. The boys were wet and appeared cold. The boys informed the officer that they haven’t had their meal.
Kindness Ruled
The appearance of the boys made it firm that they have not eaten for weeks. They were busy selling their products out on rainy and cold streets to just help the local church. The soldier in an instant decided to first serve the boys with some food. He knew that little kindness valued worth more than a great deal of money with which he could help them. But why was he this generous towards them?
Felt The Hardship
The very first reason for which this soldier’s instinct made him help the young brothers was that he himself have faced a similar situation in his initial days at the army camp. He knew what it was like to be hungry and cold. The countless number of sleepless night where he had to remain empty-stomach made him this sensitive towards these poor souls.
Can’t Believe
The army officer ordered some tacos for the duo. They have never even heard of a dish like that os a “taco”. The boys could not believe that the soldier showed this much affection and kindness towards them. He was no less than a G0d in form of bread to them. The brothers sat on a table adjacent to that of the soldiers and looking at them eating tacos, gave immense satisfaction to Risdon. He did not imagine that they were this hungry.
Captured The Moment
A customer at the Taco Bells that night saw the entire incidence. Even he was overjoyed to see the kindliness of the soldier. He records the whole scene and shares it over the media with a caption, “Our troops are always taking care of us. Thank u LTC Robert Risdon”. That wasn’t all.
Admirer
Right when the customer was recording this incident, he overheard the younger of the two brothers saying to Risdon that he wanted to be just like him when he grew up. And as a mark of respect, he saluted the soldiers. At that moment. Risdon went speechless.
