Man Sees 400 American Soldiers Being Mistreated, Makes 1 EPIC Move To stop It According to recent reports, a California businessman and philanthropist named Shlomo Rechnitz was on a trip to Israel with his family, when he endured a layover at an airport in Shannon, Ireland that would ultimately change his life. While at the airport, Rechnitz discovered a group of about 400 U.S. Army soldiers, sitting on the floor eating government-provided sack lunches. This was a sad sight compared to the civilians at the airport who were dining at fancy bistros and grabbing fast food. This seemed outrageously unfair to him, so he approached the commander of the soldiers and asked if he could purchase real meals for them. He then stood in front of the soldiers, and offered a heartfelt message to them. I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart, Rechnitz proclaimed. He then dished out about $50 for each of the 400 soldiers meals, totaling around $20,000. This is a great demonstration of patriotism. Even if you dont have $20,000 to spend on a whim, there are numerous ways you can show your gratitude to the men and women who keep us and our family safe.
