Random Acts of Kindness: Unselfish use of strength appreciated

It was a cold winter day when my husband and I were driving south on Mosside Boulevard in Monroeville when our car stopped suddenly in the second lane from the curb.

We were surrounded by traffic and at a loss about what to do next. Suddenly, a black pickup truck that was behind us pulled into the curb lane and blocked traffic. Then two husky men pushed our vehicle into the lane, then into an auto service place that was right there.

It happened so quickly we failed to get their names, but we are ever so grateful and hope they see this.
