Army Lt. Col. Robert Risdon, a father of two stationed in Fort Benning, Georgia, displayed an act of compassion and humility at a local Taco Bell. While enjoying his meal, he was approached by two young boys, aged 9 and 13, who were selling homemade desserts to raise funds for their church. Lt. Col. Risdon noticed that the boys looked vulnerable, cold, and wet, and suspected they came from a disadvantaged background.
Trusting his instincts, Lt. Col. Risdon asked the boys if they had eaten dinner and if they were hungry. It turned out that they were starving. In a heartwarming gesture, Lt. Col. Risdon invited the boys to join him for a meal, allowing them to choose anything they wanted from the menu.
