When Noah and his mother, Amanda, went to Denny’s one morning for breakfast, they thought it would be a typical meal.

They were unaware that they would spot a police officer in the eatery and that Noah would come up with an excellent plan to thank him for his service.

Noah asked his mother if they could pay for his dinner as soon as he noticed the police officer eating across the table.

Noah had money left over from his birthday that he intended to spend to buy the officer breakfast.

Naturally, Amanda was delighted to give Noah consent to purchase the officer’s meal. She was thrilled that her kid would even make such a noble suggestion.

Noah wanted to add a note to the bill in addition to purchasing the officer’s supper because it wasn’t nearly enough for him.

See what Noah wanted to say to the officer in detail, along with how the neighborhood police department reacted, in the paragraphs below.

The incident was reported by Lakeland PD on their Facebook page on April 27, 2017, where it garnered a lot of interest.

Almost 600 people have shared the post and there have been nearly 2,000 reactions.

THIS Brightened Our Day! Let’s see how much of Noah’s GOOD DEED we can spread!
Young Noah asked his mother whether they could pay for an officer’s meal at Denny’s this morning.

You see, he recently received his own money for his birthday. His one and only requirement was to include a message for the police on the receipt.

I want to be like you when I grow up, it said in the note. I appreciate your service.The eight-year-deed old’s struck Officer Benitez so much that he had to take a picture and thank the boy in person.

So, Noah, you made us all feel something today. You have no idea how much your support means to the men and women who wear the uniform every day.

We want to wish you a very happy birthday! (On Saturday, Noah will turn the BIG 9!)
We appreciate mom Amanda for sharing this tale.

Amanda had posted an article about it on her personal Facebook page before the police agency released the images.

She penned, ‘one happy mother. When your youngster requests that we cover the cost of an officers’ breakfast! jots a note on his receipt for him.’

The Lakeland Police Department’s intention was to spread this story worldwide, and it undoubtedly succeeded.

Responses from South Africa, the Netherlands, Norway, and Italy began to pour in! Others made sure to comment on Noah’s nice deed since they were so moved by it.
