SAN DIEGO (WSVN) — A police officer’s small act of kindness is getting him some big attention nationwide.
San Diego Police officer James Weaver spotted a family shouting their goodbyes to their dad aboard a U.S. Navy ship that was heading out on deployment Thursday.
Knowing the small childrens’ voices could not be heard so far away, Officer Weaver pulled his police cruiser up to the family, asking if the kids wanted to use his car’s PA system to reach their dad aboard the USS Carl Vinson.
Brettany Beutow, whose husband Josh was on the ship, said she was grateful for the officer’s act of kindness toward her children, 4-year-old Rileigh and 2-year-old Austin.
