Awesome charity

I saw one of the most humane and sincere events this past Sunday.
As I was going to the base to watch a day's worth of football I stopped at the main gate entrance.
And as usual a man was selling the Sunday paper.
And I don't know why but it always seems like the people with the hardest luck end up selling the Sunday paper.
Half the time they don't look like they've bathed in a week, but the are willing to risks about as much as a mailman to sell you a Sunday paper.

Anyways, as the guy was paying for his paper, I wasn't really paying too much attention as the money exchanged hands, but I was a single bill, no coins, so I figured the guy was at least going to get some change.

Then I said to myself, "self that guy just gave him a Christmas tip. What an awesome dude."
I didn't really care how much, but just a tip to those guys, especially before Christmas is amazing thing to do.
As I was driving away, I looked at the newspaper salesman's hand and I saw a $20 bill. "Holy cow" is the only words I could think of next.

And if the person who just so happened to give a newspaper salesman a $18.50 tip for a $1.50 product did something almost heroic. I'm sure they guy you gave it to appreciated it, and I appreciate it.
I'm only guessing it was a military member, just because he was so close to the base. So, thanks to the local military for supporting the community, especially for your support to the ones who need it the most.
