While out to eat at a local Texas Roadhouse restaurant, a veteran at a booth captured another customer\u2019s attention. After watching the vet and overhearing what was being said, the fellow patron immediately called for a manager.<\/h3>\n

A Georgia customer, only identified as C Sparks, had taken her mother out to eat at a Texas Roadhouse restaurant in Savannah when their attention became focused on a veteran at a nearby booth, according to\u00a0Love What Matters<\/a>. As they sat and watched the older man, they couldn\u2019t help but notice what was taking place at the veteran\u2019s table.<\/p>\n

As Sparks watched and listened, she not only noticed what was taking place at the other booth but also other people\u2019s reactions as they walked by. When the fellow diner and her mom decided to do something about what they saw and overheard, she got a surprising answer that she didn\u2019t expect.<\/p>\n

Describing the situation in a\u00a0Facebook post<\/a>, C Sparks said she noticed the gentleman with long gray hair and a scruffy beard sitting at the outside patio while waiting to be seated in the restaurant. She realized the man was a veteran since the patches on his jacket stood out to her, showing that this proud patriot had seen a lot in his day, while honorably defending our country. As impressed as C Sparks was with this stranger\u2019s sacrifice, it did not appear that other patrons were.<\/p>\n

According to Sparks, the vet was friendly to each and every person who walked by, with not a single customer going into or out of the restaurant without receiving a friendly greeting from the older man. \u201cHi, how are you all tonight?\u201d he would tell those entering, and not a customer left without hearing, \u201cBye, I hope you have a good night,\u201d as the veteran treated everyone as his friend. Sadly, he didn\u2019t always seem to get the same kind attention in return.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost people reacted to him, others completely ignored him,\u201d Sparks recalled. \u201cThat didn\u2019t stop him from greeting every person who walked by.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After hearing this veteran\u2019s kind greetings, Sparks and her mother were placed at a table across from where he was seated. Throughout their dinner, Sparks\u2019 attention remained on the vet, and she watched him eat his meal with a huge smile on his face. Then, the waiter walked up to the man\u2019s table. In a restaurant full of people, the patient waiter took particular care of this veteran.<\/p>\n

The employee gave the veteran all the time in the world, listening to his stories, laughing with him, and providing a little company for this guy, who shouldn\u2019t have had to eat alone. It was beyond what\u2019s expected of him as a waiter, but it was clear that he had a deep respect and general compassion for this man.<\/p>\n

After being moved by the incredible customer service and wanting to pay it forward, Sparks and her mother called the manager over and asked if they could cover the veteran\u2019s tab. With a smile, the manager was proud to tell her, \u201cMa\u2019am, someone else already has.\u201d Evidently, everyone seated in the veteran\u2019s section at\u00a0Texas Roadhouse<\/a>\u00a0felt the same way as Sparks, and everyone wanted to pay for this man\u2019s dinner.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cEveryone in the section grinned when the waiter told him that his meal was covered,\u201d C Sparks recalled. \u201cThe man then left, telling everyone on the way out that he hoped they had a good night.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s moving to see that regardless of how many people ignored this man, there were more amazing Americans who recognize him for the hero that he is. We need to watch out for our\u00a0veterans<\/a>\u00a0and be kind to them. Many are shouldering a lot of pain from war and what they have seen and experienced, all to defend our freedom and pay that tab for us.<\/p>\n
