1. 0:00Ladies and gentlemen, anyone interested?
2. 0:02They are just old things, [music] very
3. 0:04cheap.
4. 0:06>> Hey old man, who gave you permission to
5. 0:08set up a stall here?
6. 0:09>> Sir,
7. 0:10I just [music] want to sell some things
8. 0:12to get something to eat.
9. 0:13>> The officer sneered, kicking the stall
10. 0:16over with one blow.
11. 0:17>> If you want food, go to the shelter.
12. 0:19This is no for you.
13. 0:21>> The old man [music] scrambled to his
14. 0:22knees to pick them up.
15. 0:23>> I'm sorry, sir. Please don't step on
16. 0:25that. I'll leave as soon as I get enough
17. 0:27for food.
18. 0:28>> The officer [music] shoved him hard to
19. 0:29the ground.
20. 0:30>> Are you deaf? I told you to get away
21. 0:32from this building. We have a VIP
22. 0:34arriving today. Don't ruin this place
23. 0:36with your trash.
24. 0:37>> Just then, a homeless man holding a loaf
25. 0:40of bread stopped. He knelt down and
26. 0:42quietly helped [music] the old man
27. 0:43gather his scattered things.
28. 0:44>> Son, son, leave it. It will only bring
29. 0:47you trouble.
30. 0:49>> It's okay, sir.
31. 0:51>> [music]
32. 0:51>> Something like this shouldn't be lying
33. 0:52on the ground.
34. 0:53>> The officer mocked with a harsh laugh.
35. 0:55>> How touching. A junk vendor and a
36. 0:58garbage collector. You two are a perfect
37. 1:00match.
38. 1:01>> The homeless [music] man stood up,
39. 1:03shielding the old man.
40. 1:04>> Sir, he's already down. At least let
41. 1:06[music] him finish picking up his
42. 1:07things.
43. 1:08>> The officer pushed him back.
44. 1:09>> Hey bum, you want to get kicked out,
45. 1:11too?
46. 1:12>> Right then, a black Lincoln pulled up in
47. 1:14front of the building. A white-haired
48. 1:16general stepped out. [music] The officer
49. 1:18immediately saluted.
50. 1:19>> General Raymond, welcome, sir.
51. 1:21>> Raymond's eyes froze the [music] moment
52. 1:23they landed on the old dog tag in the
53. 1:25old man's hand. Captain Sean, my
54. 1:27commander, what are you doing here? The
55. 1:29old man looked up. Raymond, [music] I
56. 1:31never thought I'd see you again. Raymond
57. 1:33knelt down and helped him up. Commander
58. 1:35Sean, we have been looking for you for
59. 1:3715 [music]
60. 1:38years.
61. 1:39>> If you hadn't dragged me out of that
62. 1:40battlefield back then, I wouldn't be
63. 1:42standing here today.
64. 1:43>> The officer's face went [music] pale.
65. 1:45>> General, I'm sorry. I didn't know.
66. 1:48>> You didn't know who he was, [music] so
67. 1:49that gives you the right to humiliate
68. 1:51him?
69. 1:52This uniform is meant to protect [music]
70. 1:54the weak, not to bully those who can't
71. 1:56fight back.
72. 1:58You are suspended. [music]
73. 1:59You don't deserve to wear this uniform
74. 2:01and you sure as hell don't deserve
75. 2:02deserve to stand in front of this
76. 2:03[music] hero.
77. 2:04>> Raymond then picked up the half loaf of
78. 2:06bread from the ground and handed it to
79. 2:08the homeless man. Son, thank you. When
80. 2:11everyone else chose silence, [music] you
81. 2:12chose to bend down. Shawn took the
82. 2:15homeless man's hand.
83. 2:16>> Son, what is your name?
84. 2:17>> George.
85. 2:18>> Thank you, George.
86. 2:20Thank you for [music] bringing back the
87. 2:21last piece of dignity for an old
88. 2:23soldier.
89. 2:23>> Raymond softened his voice looking at
90. 2:25George. Come with us. I'll make [music]
91. 2:27sure you are taken care of. You don't
92. 2:29have to sleep on the streets anymore.
93. 2:31George looked at the bread in his hand
94. 2:32and shook his head gently.
95. 2:34>> Thank you, General.
96. 2:35But I can't just think [music] about
97. 2:36myself. There are a few people at the
98. 2:38shelter waiting for me to bring this
99. 2:39bread back.
100. 2:41Take care of this gentleman first.
101. 2:43[music] He deserves to be remembered by
102. 2:44this world more than I do.
103. 2:46>> Tears streamed down [music] Shawn's
104. 2:48face. He stepped forward and hugged him
105. 2:50tightly.
106. 2:51>> Thank you, George. May God see your
107. 2:52kindness.
108. 2:54>> If you believe respect shouldn't [music]
109. 2:55depend on status, please leave respect
110. 2:58in the comments.
