We can all fall on hard times and experience tough periods in life. It should go without saying that when we do, we deserve the love and support of those around us to help bring us back to our feet.
That’s doubly true for those brave souls who serve their country and ask for no reward in return.
Sadly there are too many veterans left to struggle upon returning from duty. Unless a soldier has served for a certain amount of time, the benefits they receive are often not enough to live on, while others are unsure where to turn once they land on Civvy Street.
Larry Robeson knows that all too well. As per reports, Larry, a Vietnam veteran who could barely afford basic amenities, was down on his luck and left unsure where to turn.
As fate would have it, however, he was about to cross paths with a Fox 5 Surprise Squad, in a grocery store in Las Vegas to pay for people’s groceries.
Though Larry was struggling financially, he had still taken his friend Stephanie – a disabled fellow veteran – to the store. Stephanie told Fox 5’s reporter that she was buying food for herself and her dogs, though conceded that she was down to her last $50 and didn’t know what she would do after that.
