When the local news station reported the theft of $5000 worth of things in Joe Torres’ home, at least one businessman in Fresno, CA decided that the theft of his medals from his tour of Vietnam was too much. From ABC30;
Josh Valdez entered Joe Torres home with a gift Sunday. He brought medals and ribbons that are exact duplicates of the ones Torres lost in a home burglary Tuesday.
“It makes me feel great. It makes me feel great. I appreciate this from the bottom of my heart.” said Torres.
Valdez’s family owns a military supply store in Clovis. They were watching Action News Thursday night and decided to help Torres.
The thief hasn’t been caught yet, but at least Joe Torres knows who his friends are.
Thanks to ROS for the link.
Way to go Mr. Valdez, classy move!
What Old Tanker said! Wonderful!
I just figured it out…if I took all my medals and awards…along with a Buck Fifty, I can get a small cup of coffee at Star Bucks!
Very nice, Mr Valdez.
Now awesome is that? Thank you to the Valdez’s! Uh, CI? You meant to say weak tea, right? lol 8)
Maybe we should get a website found for the Valdez’s shop?
