Errands At Walmart

So as we all know, Walmart is the place to go when you need household supplies of any kind. And this lady here needed several items for her home so she went there for a visit. This was just another average trip to Walmart when she spotted a veteran parked in her way. She was not about to go ahead with her day without doing something. She waited to see how he was for a while and as she was watching him struggle for some time she knew she had to do something. So she decided then and there to get out of her car and get to the struggling man. She had to help him quickly as she needed to go about her day as well. And what took place after this left the man in complete awe.
