9 Nicest Things Strangers Have Done to Say ‘Thank You’ to Veterans

Surprise donor

John Branson noticed Edgar Roberts’ Vietnam marine cap in a local Cracker Barrel. The veteran was sitting alone, so Branson shared a meal with the 70 year old and chatted about his son, who was getting ready to graduate from the Naval Academy. Over the course of the conversation, Roberts explained he had been on dialysis for five years after losing both his kidneys to cancer. After the two parted ways, Branson got tested and found out he was an organ match, and offered to donate his kidney to Roberts. They hope to do the life-saving surgery in May, according to Fox59.
