20美元和一件了不起的事
20美元和一件了不起的事

When Myles Eckert found $20 in the parking lot, he first thought about the video games that he could buy. Twenty dollars is a fortune in the eyes of an 8-year-old, after all. But, when Myles walked inside the Cracker Barrel and noticed the man in the uniform, he changed his mind. What he did next brought people to tears, and has inspired millions around the country.

Myles walked up to Lt. Colonel Frank Dailey and handed him the $20 wrapped in this note.

Dear soldier,

My dad was a soldier. He’s in heaven now. I found this $20 in the parking lot when we got here. We like to pay it forward(把爱传出去) in my family. It’s your lucky day!

Thank you for your service.

Myles Eckert, A gold star kid

After this remarkable story was told in all parts of the country, people started sending Myles $20. But instead of taking any money, the Eckerts directed those donations to different charities that help kids who have lost a parent to war. To date, donations in total reach up to more than $2,000,000.
