Empathy
When Lt. Col. Robert Risdon was interrupted by the two boys while he was eating his dinner, he didn’t think twice about helping them. Everyone agrees that he is a true American Hero. Risdon empathized with the two poor souls when they entered Taco Bell, soaking wet from the rain and starving.
He is a father of two himself, and he knew he had to do something to make their day a little brighter.
