(Greendale, Ind.) - A random act of kindness at a Greendale gas station was caught on video and is now going viral.

On Sunday, a convoy of soldiers traveling home from Camp Atterbury, stopped for drinks and snacks at the AmeriStop in Greendale. As each soldier made their way to the cash register, they were met with a thank you from customer Mike Kestermann, who then picked up their tabs.

The random act of kindness also inspired the clerk, Darlene Davis to pay for the next round of soldiers who came through.
