@Kevin Sargent was featured on a TV show called What Would You Do. After spending a week with him in [USERGROUP=14]@Bimini[/USERGROUP] last year I had no doubt what he would do. Kevin, thank you for being a good example for all of us and especially for the many years you served us in one of the most difficult military roles imaginable.


You can read the story at http://shareably.net/stranger-buys-toy-for-kid-what-would-you-do but I prefer the video.

Thanks to @tim h and DiAnna Grewe for bringing this to my attention.
 
You damn Squid, how can I make fun of you now????!!!!

Your Delta Ki name is now, "Hollywood"!

Nice work my friend.

You are a true Servant Leader and an awesome example for all of us (and particularly your kids).

Of course, I was laughing when they couldn't get your attention. Quintessential Sargent.

BTW, I'm in Atlanta 2-4 Jan for Passion.
 
Freaking awesome, @Kevin Sargent tough guy!!!

Sandra was happy to see her friend Devin on TV!

Wow, That made me a little emotional. I can only hope I'd do the same but I have a feeling I would have only covered the difference not the entire amount.

@Kevin Sargent , the world would be a much better place if there were a more people like you on it.

Very cool!
 
Awesome stuff @Kevin Sargent . Hope everyone sees and takes the example.
 
That's fantastic man! Just great! I remember seeing that episode. It got me then too.
 
Slow clap for @Kevin Sargent
Well done, and very inspiring.
I kind of got a chuckle from the bits of conversation that you were having with your kids. The bow and arrows to shoot mommy, and the broom to help mommy clean. :D
If I had known that you were so generous, I might have played the "I can't pay" card when checking out of Bimini Sands, because you stood beside me for a good hour during the very slow and painful check-out process. Although you didn't pay my bill, you actually did point out that they had not applied my deposit to my balance... always a good and helpful guy.

Yeah, I did help you figure the bill figured out. I knew the numbers did not look right. That was very painful. Lol
