This is simply incredible. Army Lietenant Colonel Robert Risdon went to Taco Bell to grab some dinner. He was already sitting down to eat when two young boys walked into the restaurant, but not to order.
The boys — one 9 and the other 13 — were there to sell homemade desserts in an effort to raise money for their local church. But Risdon noticed that the boys looked cold and wet.
He asked them if they'd had anything to eat for dinner yet.
