God bless this man and his family. This is the kind of thing that Christmas is really about.

One hell of a good man. Or he's trying to score brownie points with Santa.

Wow, wish I had the disposable income to do something like that. I heard a woman on the radio yesterday, her 3 kids and her were out to dinner by themselves, their father was in Iraq, anyways, the patrons caught wind of their situation, someone else paid for their dinner, and the patrons thanked her and her children, and told them what a hero their dad was. Sounds like something we could all do.

Good man, but he shouldn't do that. Military members as federal government employees cannot accept gifts like that.

We tried to give money to a killed soldier's family two Christmas's ago. They were not poor and would not accept it. The slain soldier was at the time the highest ranking killed in Iraq.

We gave to some care workers at an AIDs nursing home here about a week ago and haven't heard a peep of thanks yet.

I gave Christmas to my employeees and they were all great about it.

You just never know. Best not to get hung on appreciation though it is a nice dividend....best to just do what feels right to the giver.

It's people like this man who give us all hope for the present generation.

It was a mighty generous and decent gesture.

God bless him!

A great example of Scrooge after his ghostly visits.
