Half way through our meal a JSO officer walked in and sat down and ordered his dinner too. He was a couple tables away..He was alone, kept to himself and pretty quiet.. So by the time we finished our dinner and got the check, I discretely told our server that I wanted to pick up the officers bill as well.. She smiled and said ok.. So I paid our bill and the officers and we got up and just decided to leave.. Well walking out the door I felt a tap on my shoulder and it was the officer.. He said that the waitress told him that I picked up his tab and he was just so grateful. Shook my hand repeatedly and gave me this huge polite smile.. I just told him that we were proud of our men and women in blue and we needed to take care of them like they take care of us.. So I said thank you for everything you do and he was one of the true heroes in this country.. He looked like he got a little choked up.. A real "feel good" moment..
