From an early age we’re taught to respect the flag and all who serve under it.

Front and center of that latter group of distinction stand our brave soldiers, who literally risk their lives in the defence of liberty and freedom.

Sadly, there are too many who forget about our troops; too many who go through their lives without giving them the due respect they deserve.

Fortunately, there are also those who consider them each and every day. Two brothers from Durham, North Carolina, were having a meal at Chick-fil-A when two serving men walked through the door.

What would go on to play out will leave you with warmth in your heart …

Jonathan and Stephen Full had taken their kids to Chick-fil-A when they saw two military members enter the restaurant. No sooner had they got through the door than did Jonathan stand up.

He told WTVD: “It’s always been on my mind to pay for some military members’ meals when I get the chance.”

With that on his mind, Jonathan went through with a promise he made to himself in the past.

“It just hit me real good in my heart to do it then. And it just happened,” he explained.
