In American folk history, during World War II, soldiers might find themselves getting free meals at restaurants. "Your money is no good here," a manager might say. Americans knew who their heroes were then, and we still do now.
Allan Marshall of Detroit, Michigan exemplifies this spirit. He had saved up $900 for a personal purchase, but decided to do something better with it. WDIV reports that Marshall held up a sign for two days in front of an Exxon station, offering to pay for gas for nurses, who are among the heroes on today's front lines.
But it gets better.
When Marshall ran out of money, a woman approached him and paid the gas station $200 for additional fuel for the nurses' cars. She said that she felt inspired by Marshall's generosity.
