Must-watch video: Classy young boy stuns U.S. Army officer with heartfelt act of almsgiving


As part of our continuing series "On the Road," Steve Hartman meets an eight-year-old boy who found $20 in a parking lot and was thinking of spending it on a new video game. That changed when he saw the man in uniform. (H/T Marcel Lejeune at Aggie Catholics.)

  3. The "soldier" involved in this news video is actually an Airmen, a U.S. Air Force officer who is part of the 180th Air National Guard Fighter Wing. The term "soldier" is most common with those in the U.S. Army.

    Just thought to make that correction.
