[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

"The elderly gentleman was seated in the booth directly across from my family as we ate dinner Saturday night at Eat'n Park in Belle Vernon. We really didn't see him come in. But we did notice when our server, Dylan, dropped to one knee to look him eye-to-eye as he got ready to take his order.

The man apologized for not hearing too well. He had forgotten to put in his hearing aids. He talked about how he lost his hearing during his time in the war. He was 91 years old with many stories to tell. Dylan patiently listened giving him his full attention.

Eventually the man apologized for talking so much. 'I'm alone now,' he said, 'and I don't often have someone to talk to.' Dylan smiled and said he enjoyed listening. He then helped him figure out what to order and left to take it to the kitchen. It was a touching sight.

I wanted offer to pay for the man's dinner, but before I could flag down Dylan, a man seated at a nearby booth asked Dylan to bring him his check. 'Someone's already taken care of it,' Dylan smiled.

I guess we weren't the only ones eavesdropping on the conversation. After the man received his food Dylan came back to say he was on a break.

He asked if he could sit with the gentleman as he ate. As we left the restaurant the two of them were conversing and many people seated nearby were smiling. It was a touching sight.

With all of the negative stories about our youth today this was a breath of fresh air. I wonder if I would have been as kind and attentive if I were the one working there.

One thing's for sure, if you are ever at Eat'n Park in Belle Vernon, ask for Dylan. If he's your waiter you're certain to get great service."

@MarshaBlackburn How the hell is that any different from what republicans do? That’s how it has always been. You are the perfect example of what is wrong with politics!

[Debbie Collins @dooddeb]

@mhdksafa Yes

[Debbie Collins @dooddeb]

@QUART20RARO That’s so very wrong! How, and why, would you say something like that? Is that how you were raised?

[Debbie Collins @dooddeb]

@MarshaBlackburn We should limit every elected official PERIOD!!!

[World News Tonight @ABCWorldNews]

Murder is among the leading causes of death among women on tribal lands.

Lawmakers and Native American tribal members work to raise awareness while commemorating the “Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and People.” https://t.co/5Fa1c2PzFb

@ask_aubry Appears not one of those degrees are in common sense. Or personality.

@joncoopertweets Why are we still talking about Cruz?

[Debbie Collins @dooddeb]

@LeaningLeftShow Of course it does! He is too old to be in charge of the country. So is Trump. They need to both go home and stay there.

@GovBillLee You’re only interested in “protecting” whoever pays the most. You care nothing for Tennesseans.
