  2. Lt. Col. Frank Dailey unexpectedly found himself on the receiving end of an act of kindness from an 8- year-old boy named Myles Eckert after leaving a Cracker Barrel one afternoon. Little Myles spotted a 20-dollar bill on the ground and decided to pay it forward to the soldier. Attached was the following note:
