With so much "bad" news lately, it's awesome to spread some good.

44-year-old businessman Shlomo Rechnitz owns a company called Brius Healthcare Services.  He's pretty well-to-do, and does lots of charity work.

Earlier this month, he was at an airport in Ireland, waiting for a flight, when he saw about 400 American troops about to eat their brown bag lunches in the food court.

Shlomo didn't think it was right, when everyone else around them were eating REAL dinners.

So he approached their commanding officer, asked if he could buy them all a HOT meal.  He said they could all spend up to $50 to get whatever they wanted from any restaurant in the airport.

In all, it was about $20k....but as he says when he addressed them here, it's a small price to pay for everything they do for us.
