Guess what a veteran did....

http://www.digtriad.com/news/article/257572/57/Customers-Utility-Bills-Paid-By-Military-Veteran

Stockbridge, GA-- More than a dozen Georgia Power customers were shocked, some moved to tears, when a military veteran went on a spontaneous bill paying spree.

"He had such a glow on his face," said Customer Service Representative Athena Brewer.

The Georgia Power office in Stockbridge was filled with people when the vet, who told employees he was homeless just a year ago, entered to pay his electric bill.

The man overheard Customer Service Representative Glendis Harris talking to a woman who was short on cash. He opened his wallet.

"Then he turned around and was like, anybody want their bill paid?" said Harris. "He said Merry Christmas to everybody, and he started paying bills,"
