http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/showbiz/2013/10/23/sbt-10000-dollar-tip.hln.html
This article that I have looked up was about a waitress at a Ruby Tuesday who during the government shutdown had a couple of military men come in and grab a bite to eat. At the end of the meal when ready for the tab, Sarah, the waitress wrote on the back of the tab thanking the men for fighting for our country and due to the government shutdown, they were not getting paid, yet she was. So what did she do, she paid the $27 dollar tab by herself in honor of thanking the men for fighting for our country and doing what they do for us. Ellen saw this and brought Sarah onto her show and said she wanted to give her something. In return for doing the two soldiers a favor, Ellen gave Sarah a check or as the title says "$10,000.00 Tip". After being asked what she was going to do with the money, Sarah described how she would give some to a military charity, some debt and medical bills, school loans, and she wanted to get a new car. So what did Ellen do, she went out and bought a new car for Sarah as well. I chose this article because we just had Veteran's Day and I thought this was just a very courageous act of kindness that was understandably noticed by Ellen.
