I bet you're imagining the plans for your dinner or the tasks left on your to-do list.
Well, that's exactly what was going through the mind of an Army veteran during a regular grocery trip. But then, something really amazing happened that snapped him out of his usual routine.
Larry, a veteran, had only a few items at the checkout counter.

This veteran, named Larry, didn't have many things at the checkout counter. He only had two items. When the news reporter saw him standing behind a disabled female veteran named Stephanie, whom he had just helped buy groceries, it piqued their interest. They had more questions for him.
As he approached the cashier, a news anchor intercepted him. After a brief exchange of questions, the anchor remarked, "You served us. Now it's our time to serve you."

The news host had a few questions for Larry, and then they told him, “You served us. It’s our turn to serve you now.”
Larry was taken aback, surprised by the kind words. He glanced up at the news anchor, and tears began to well up in his eyes as he met their gaze.
The veteran stood in awe, deeply moved by the overwhelming display of generosity.
