In the News--NYPD Officer gives boots to homeless man



What a great story for this holiday season.  One of New York’s finest encountered a homeless man who was barefoot.  NYPD Officer Larry Deprimo says he was “just doing my job” when he paid (out of his own money) for a new pair of warm socks and boots for the homeless man.  This touching story of compassion was captured by tourists and put on youtube.com.  An interview with Officer Deprimo can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JorEw_75Yg0  This story tells me we should all be mindful of the needs of others and reach out in compassion to others.  Thank you Officer Larry Deprimo.
