One Good Man Doing Something-

Navy Veteran Kendrick Taylor, tells Orlando News 13 that his core Navy values resonated loudly when he saw an elderly woman being attacked by a young man in a grocery store parking lot:

“Honor, courage, and commitment.” he said.

He knew he couldn’t stand idly by and watch this 76-year-old woman get her purse violently snatched after being shoved to the ground.

“What if that was my grandmother?”

Not taking into consideration any potential danger, Taylor ran straight for the culprit, tackled him- hard – and waited for police to arrive.
His act of courage earned Taylor the Medal of Merit from the Orlando Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

Taylor hopes this act will inspire others to do the right thing.

“I think us being Americans, [we] should just stand up for each other, just stand up for what’s right and not look to the other person to try to act on it but act on it yourself and that will make us all better at the end of day.”

From serving his country to serving others, Taylor exemplifies true American spirit.

Great job! One good man doing something!!
