The 84-year-old widow was married to a Marine Korean war veteran for 62 years, and she thoroughly enjoyed looking at the American and Marine flags that adorned her front yard as a reminder of her late husband.  

Then, shockingly, callous thieves would pilfer the flags right out from under her.

“I think I went into shock,” Naomi Litton said. “My goodness the flags are gone.

I was devastated and I think I shed a few tears. Of course I was thinking about my husband.”

Former Marines Scott Cole and Arthur Kennedy got wind of what happened, and they decided they were going to do something about it.

The veterans would arrive on Litton’s doorstep in Barberton, Ohio. Litton was a little startled when she opened the door, but her day was made soon thereafter.

Cole and Kennedy had brought her some new flags, and they even took the time to hang them up for her.

“It doesn’t matter what color, creed, age, the Marine will be there,” said Cole.

The soldiers’ gesture for the widow brought her daughter to tears.

“These guys took time out of their day to do that,” Carol Bailey said. “I’m so proud. I was so proud of our dad all of our life.”

“I can’t thank them enough, there’s no words to thank them,” she added.

“What wonderful men. Semper Fi, Marine, Semper Fi.”

It’s awesome to see that the widow can smile again after being so upset by the senseless theft that threw her for a loop.

Hats off to the pair of vets that were able to make that happen!

They went way above and beyond the call of duty here, and they deserve all the kudos and plaudits that are heading their way for their incredibly kind act.
