He didn’t know it but I had to take this photo of our Chief 💙
I was pumping fuel when I spotted him showing this little guy the lights on his cruiser, then as he held his hand he led him across the parking lot safely ⭐️

We heard that a veteran was struggling financially and that he couldn't pay his light bill. As a result, his power was shut off. With the assistance of MVP, we were able to pay for his light bill so his power could be restored. In the picture Holden Town Council Tom Copeland (Navy and Army veteran), Doc Goodwin, and Chief Benjamin.
