A convenience store in Swansea, Illinois, was the scene of not one but two random acts of kindness by anonymous veterans.
Tim Lillis, the manager of Huck’s Convenience Store, said it all started yesterday when a Navy veteran was purchasing a cup of coffee as a group of 15 to 20 soldiers lined up behind him to pay for their items. The man bought his coffee then moved to the side and asked the cashier to add whatever the soldiers bought to his tab. The final bill came to $69.88 in hot dogs, drinks, nuts and snack foods, according to Lillis.
Lillis said he asked the man to pose for a picture but he politely declined, saying "it was just something I wanted to do," before turning and leaving the store.
"I think he should get a medal," Lillis told ABC News. "It was an awesome thing."
