People might think that business men don’t have hearts, but an LA business man proved his deep pockets could be used for good when he saw a group of 400 U.S. soldiers sitting on the ground of an airport.
Schlomo Rechnitz was on layover at Ireland’s international airport when he saw a group of soldier eating standard army food, as all the other civilians in the terminal ate delicious food in trendy restaurants. Rechnitz felt uncomfortable with this site, and decided to do something about it.
After asking the soldiers’ commander if he could give something extra, he offered the group his appreciation and about $50 per meal for every single soldier.
Rechnitz sat in the airport and saw about 400 U.S. soldiers sitting on the ground eating out of paper bags, while civilians ate at fancy restaurants.
“I figured, I want to make the picture look a little better, and offered them $50 apiece to go to those restaurants and have a warm meal on me,” Rechnitz said.
Watch the entire video below to see what happened when the soldiers heard they’d be getting treated to dinner.
