A small act of kindness can make a world of difference for someone.
One deputy’s act of kindness has received a lot of praise online after being photographed and shared on the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department’s Facebook page.
A letter and photos were sent to the Victorville station’s watch commander showing a uniformed deputy sitting on a bus bench next to an elderly man in a wheelchair.
The witness said he was driving in the area when he noticed the deputy sitting next to the man.
“The scene led my thoughts to believe that the deputy was paying honor and respect to this gentleman, almost as a friend would, perhaps just keeping him company as he waited for the bus to arrive,” he wrote.
