Former combat engineer Christopher Garrett had been shot in the gut while taking part in a night mission, ultimately earning a medical retirement and 100% disabled rating. Despite the nagging pain from the injury, the disabled veteran still did his best to maintain his home, including mowing his yard once or twice a week with an old-fashioned push mower.

According to news sources, Garrett's wife Brittany recently found him outside crying, and after determining that nothing was wrong, was absolutely blown away by what was actually right.

In a social media post, she described how an anonymous neighbor of theirs had witnessed Garrett struggling with the old push mower and decided to bless him and his family with a brand new John Deere riding lawn mower.

A note attached to the new mower read: "I hope this saves time for the things that matter most in your life. Thank you for your service and for my freedom. Sincerely, A grateful American"

Brittany and her husband were overcome with joy by the generous gift. It will no doubt save him plenty of time and pain, allowing him to instead focus on more important things,like spending more time with his family.

This is such an amazing display of gratitude and selflessness from an unknown neighbor to another selfless man who risked his life for us! That's what America is all about!
