SWANSEA, Ill. – A convenience store in Swansea, Illinois, was the scene of not one but two random acts of kindness by anonymous veterans, according to a report from ABC News.

Last week, a Navy veteran was purchasing a cup of coffee at Huck’s Convenience Store as a group of 15 to 20 soldiers lined up behind him to pay for their items. The man bought his coffee, then moved to the side and asked the cashier to add whatever the soldiers bought to his tab. The final bill came to $69.88 in hot dogs, drinks, nuts and snack foods, the store’s manager Tim Lillis told ABC.

Lillis said he asked the man to pose for a picture but he politely declined, saying, "it was just something I wanted to do," before turning and leaving the store.

The soldiers tried to stop him, saying "No, no, you don't have to do that," according to Lillis. But the man insisted, also refusing money from the soldiers.

Later that day, in what can only be coincidence, another act of generosity by a veteran took place at the same store. A young couple drove up to the convenience store with a flat tire. According to Lillis, who was on duty yet again, "[The tire] was just so rusted on, it wasn't budging. … they were a young couple, very poor. Their van was falling apart."

A man who was getting gas outside the store came over to help, spending 45 minutes to an hour before finally removing the tire. The man, a former Marine, then offered them his spare to use to get to where they needed to go. Like the day’s earlier Good Samaritan, he too didn't give his name or want recognition for his generosity.
