John Cena startled Charles “Bud” Phillips, a retired Vietnam veteran, in the checkout line while he was shopping at his Florida grocery store.

“My dad was behind him in the checkout line,” Charles’s daughter Stefanie Phillips recounts. While they were conversing, John noticed my dad’s SeaBees hat and praised him for his service. She reveals that John paid for all of his groceries in secret. “My dad was unaware until the cashier remarked, ‘John paid for your groceries,’ while he was being checked out. The bill came to about $100.

What a kind gesture, and Stefanie continued by describing the significance it held for her father.
