Random acts of kindness can go a long way these days.
In that spirit, the below is especially touching as we all pray that no more acts of violence will occur in the coming days.
Thankful to our National Guard for keeping us safe. Nothing says thanks like homemade chocolate chip cookies. pic.twitter.com/bqVVqSxKdX

Also, see:
We made more cookies and went back to a different location on Capitol Hill. This time, this National Guardsman took his patch off his shoulder and gave it to Griffin (aka SpiderMan). No, I’m not ???? you are! We’re lucky to be protected by good people like this. ???????????? pic.twitter.com/9Y6OISWXEv

Local DC-Area restaurants are also pitching in to feed our troops:

Here is a little more context from some local reporting:
Restaurants in Washington D.C. are keeping CO and other Nat’l Guard troops from across the U.S. fed thanks to donations from across the country. The donations aren’t only fueling the troops, but also helping businesses hit hard by the #pandemic. https://t.co/y7UXvEf07I @chefspike pic.twitter.com/gDzWpdN7UL
