In an age where information spreads rapidly through social media, this message touched the hearts of patrons, inspiring them to share it far and wide. On Facebook alone, it garnered over 4,000 shares and 9,000 likes, thanks to its posting on Ohio Going Blue\u2019s page.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10646\" src=\"http:\/\/fadnews24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/MjAwNTQ1MDcyMjM0NzY3NDY4-1-300x200.webp\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fadnews24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/MjAwNTQ1MDcyMjM0NzY3NDY4-1-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/fadnews24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/MjAwNTQ1MDcyMjM0NzY3NDY4-1.webp 700w\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The administrator of Ohio Going Blue\u2019s page weighed in on the significance of this simple but powerful act of recognition. They wrote in a comment, \u201cThis is a positive post, but some of you can\u2019t see the bigger picture. As an officer, I do not go into any establishment expecting\/wanting ANYTHING to be free or let alone even a discount, whether I\u2019m in uniform or not, and I can confirm that many other officers share this sentiment. We aren\u2019t inclined towards receiving \u2018special treatment.\u2019 The reality is that KFC is showing appreciation for law enforcement, which is why this message was shared.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10647\" src=\"http:\/\/fadnews24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/MjAwNTQ1MDcyMjM0NzY3NDY4-2-255x300.webp\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 255px) 100vw, 255px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fadnews24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/MjAwNTQ1MDcyMjM0NzY3NDY4-2-255x300.webp 255w, https:\/\/fadnews24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/MjAwNTQ1MDcyMjM0NzY3NDY4-2.webp 428w\" alt=\"\" width=\"255\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This thoughtful gesture didn\u2019t just resonate with the public; it also found support among KFC employees. One employee from the Russell KY KFC proudly affirmed, \u201cYes, we feed police officers for free EVERYDAY!!! I work at the Russell KY KFC!! We honor our protectors!! Now, it\u2019s time to extend this kindness by offering free meals or food to veterans as well!! I am going to bring it to their attention next time I see the owners.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Note: we are republishing this story which originally made the news in August 2016.
