We all owe a great debt of gratitude to our military, as their dedicated service ensures the freedoms we enjoy today. It is important to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, whether through monuments, monuments, or simply saying “thank you.”
But it is equally important to reach out to our veterans, who are still among us and going through difficult times. As in the case of Larry Robson, it is these good deeds that restore our faith in humanity. Vietnam veteran Larry Robson returns from the war, uncertain about his future. He faced financial difficulties and struggled to make ends meet.
His story touched the hearts of many veterans who struggle to find the support they need. But fate had something in store for Larry at a grocery store in Las Vegas. Even though Larry couldn’t afford to shop on his own, he took his disabled friend Stephanie to the store to make sure she had everything she needed. Stephanie had only $50 left and was worried about her future. But an encounter with the Fox 5 Surprise Squad provided an unexpected ray of hope.
Surprise reporter Dave Hall intervened and assured Stephanie that the groceries were ready. While talking to Stephanie, Hall immediately noticed that Larry was standing behind her.
Larry, a longtime friend of Stephanie’s husband, founded the Blanket Bones Club. The club’s mission is to provide blankets to veterans who become homeless after leaving the military. This noble cause was born out of tragedy when three of his veterans tragically froze to death due to extreme weather. Larry’s compassion extended beyond his friends. He believed that veterans should not have to endure the hardships that Stephanie faced. Hall was deeply moved by Larry’s dedication and made it his mission to support him.
Larry had intended to buy a few simple items, but Hall left the store with everything he needed, including a large amount of food. Hall and his team paid the bill, which totaled $278, and Larry was overcome with emotion, bringing tears to his eyes. “You served us. Now it’s our turn to serve you,” Hall told the rally, expressing the gratitude and respect everyone should have for veterans.
This touching act of kindness reminds us that even in the midst of life’s difficulties, there are people who care about us. Larry and Stephanie’s story inspires us all to support those who serve our country and be kind to one another. To learn more about this amazing story, watch the video below.
