Lieutenant Colonel Robert Risdon, a soldier, has been praised for his act of kindness towards two boys who were raising money for their church in Mobile, Alabama. The boys were out in the rain selling homemade desserts when the soldier noticed they were soaking wet and asked if they would like some Taco Bell instead of buying their desserts. Jason Gibson, who was also in the restaurant, captured the moment on video and shared it on Facebook.

The soldier's gesture has been hailed as heroic, with many thanking him for taking care of the children.
