There are a variety of ways we citizens can thank our hard-working firefighters and police officers. They put their lives on the line every day without any hesitation, and any gesture of thanks for their sacrifice is sure to be appreciated, not matter how small.
Four Vandalia firefighters were on their regular Sunday morning grocery trip when they received an emergency medical call. They immediately dropped everything to respond, and didn't check out, simply abandoning their groceries with the chance that they could save a life.
So when they came back to the Kroger to purchase the groceries they had been forced to leave behind, they were pleasantly stunned by what they discovered: their groceries had already been paid for by a generous, anonymous citizen. And that wasn't all the person left for them. On the grocery receipt was a kind note.
"Thank you for your service! All of you helped when I had a fire earlier this year. God Bless!"
Needless to say, the firefighters were truly touched by the gesture! The woman that they had apparently helped paid for the dinners of the four firefighters — only a $34 bill, but a priceless act of gratitude for these firefighters.
If you think this was a simple yet meaningful gesture, please SHARE!
