Army Dad Takes A Photo Of Woman's Grocery Cart After Spotting What's Inside It

After working so hard in the military, Patrick Gibson was finally at a place where he could make life work for his family. Wherever he could, Patrick cut costs because, with two new kids and a wife, he knew it wasn't just his well-being on the line. But in a crowded North Carolina supermarket, Patrick saw something that would change his life forever. It angered him deeply, and he shared his encounter on Facebook — not expecting it to start a huge controversy.

Military Bound

Patrick Gibson was once a young man without many viable career options, but he found a purpose with the U.S. Army. Thanks to his hard work and vision, Patrick's fortunes turned around. The veteran developed a strong sense of right and wrong — which spurred him into action that day at the grocery store.

Got A Job

Money was often on his mind. After finishing his service, Patrick looked for a job that would make him enough money to support him and his family. He ended up joining the working class like millions of other Americans. Life wasn't lavish, but he was doing just fine and knew the value of his work.

Beautiful Wife

Patrick was sure he wanted to forge a new path for himself, starting with a family. He knew for sure that his girlfriend, Whitney, was the one for him, and asked her to marry him even though they were young. With enough hard work, they'd make a beautiful life together.

Kids Came Next

That beautiful life arrived fast, and it happened in the form of two kids, a boy and a girl. Patrick suddenly had to make enough money not only for himself but also two other people — three if you count Whitney. Still, he was determined to make it work.
