Another attaboy for the Police  FORT WORTH, Texas – The Fort Worth police officers were just a few hours into their shift when they responded to what is considered the lowest priority 911 call. But when the officers got to the elderly man's house and saw it was 85 degrees inside with a broken AC unit, they knew they had to help. following his call for help FORT WORTH, Texas – The Fort Worth police officers were just a few hours into their shift when they responded to what is considered the lowest priority 911 call. But when the officers got to the elderly man's house and saw it was 85 degrees inside with a broken AC unit, they knew they had to help. At 95 years old, Julius Hatley may be a little difficult to understand, but his infectious laugh says all you need to know about the World War ll vet. Hatley woke up Thursday morning drenched in sweat. His old window AC unit had stopped working. Unsure of what to do, he called 911. Officer William Margolis and Christopher Weir responded to Hatley's Fort Worth home just after 8 a.m. The men took one look at the disabled unit and quickly came up with a solution. “I talked to my partner and I talked to the gentleman and said, ‘Look, we’re going to help you out. I'll be back in just a little bit. I promise you.’” Margolis said. The officers went to Home Depot to buy Hatley a new AC unit. Officer Weir snapped a photo of his partner at the checkout counter. Weir shared the picture on social media. The kind gesture quickly spread online. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017...s-call-for-help.html | ||

That was a terrific story. And yes, may god bless all of those involved. Oh, and an attaboy to the Home Depot store management for kicking in for the AC. Somebody at that store understands the value of positive PR work. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns.

I read also that a local HVAC company is going to replace his central AC at no cost. People are also looking into painting his trim, replacing his windows and figuring a way to keep him supplied with groceries. ___________________________________________________________________________ "....imitate the action of the Tiger." | |||
