Soldier Receipt Viral: Anonymous Former Marine Picks Up Tab For Soldiers At Restaurant [Photo]


Just when one soldier thought his commitment to the country went unnoticed, a former Marine showed him otherwise. Now, a photo of the commendable act of kindness has gone viral. According to KING-5, the soldier took to Instagram under the username SgtSeahawk with a photo of a restaurant receipt from Uncle Buck’s Fishbowl & Grill in Tacoma.

It has been reported that the soldier recently dined with other active soldiers at the restaurant. Their dining experience was like any other, but they received a big surprise when it was time to pay for their meal. Apparently, an anonymous former marine decided to repay the soldiers for their hard work by covering their $52.65 tab. He also left a short message on the receipt that read, “Thanks for your service gentleman.” The unnamed soldier never revealed his true identity, and only signed the short note as a “former marine.”

The soldier posted the photo along with a caption detailing his reaction to the heartfelt gesture. Needless to say, the random act of kindness is one he’ll hold to high regard for years to come. “Every time I think that no one cares that I’m a Soldier or about my sacrifice,… Someone redeems my faith in society. Thank You ‘Former Marine’ for your Sacrifice and generosity! HOOAH!!!”

“A former Marine picked up the bill. He didn’t introduce himself or even allow us a moment to say ‘Thank You’! I just want to give this stranger some recognition for his kindness to Soldiers. It’s such a rare thing. This random act of kindness… Made my day.”
