RAKs For The Victims

--by emackaroni83, posted Mar 20, 2013

I was going through a drive-thru at a fast food restaurant today. When I went to pay the clerk told me the guy in the car in front of me had paid for my meal.

Then he handed me a card. It read, "I am doing 26 random acts of kindness in memory of the 26 victims of the Newton School Shooting. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year"

I then looked at the back of the card and there was a name of a victim and their age. I broke down right there.

I think this is an awesome way to honor those that died due to evil and keep their memory alive by doing something good!
