Thirteen year old Daylin Campbell got a surprise from the Polk County Sheriff's office after his bike was stolen.
For Christmas, Daylin received a new bike. Though the gift was one he'd never forget, the joy was bittersweet.
Daylin was battling leukemia and didn't have the strength to ride the bike. When he found out he was in remission, he was excited to finally have the chance to take it for a spin.
But before he could take even one ride, the bike was stolen from his family's front porch.
But Daylin wasn't miserable for long. Polk County sheriffs showed up at Daylin's house with a brand new bike and helmet for the teenager.
The good deed was caught on video:
The sheriffs posed for photos with the family. They said they hope this gift allows Daylin to be a normal teenager.
Canice Jordan, Daylin's mother, was truly moved by the actions of the sheriffs and took to Facebook to express the family's thanks:
People were overjoyed at the actions of the sheriffs:

Keep up the good fight Daylin. And keep up the good work, Polk County Sheriffs.
As they say, not all heroes wear capes.
Redditor AdRealistic03 wanted to discuss the shocking things we've all learned about our armed forces, so they asked:
"What are some NSFW secrets about the military?"
The military is littered with secrets, and I love secrets. Tell me more...

"Lowest ranks pull guard duties more often."
"Who's the lowest rank? That baby faced 18 year old who just joined up."
"Guard duties are up there as one of the most bone taskings going."

"I was our unit's drug test guy. I smoked weed every day because I obviously would not drug test myself. I was also really good at it so they wouldn't give the job to someone else. I could get our tests done and completed without mistakes in like 1/5 of the time of my predecessor. Didn't sell drugs, but I've given plenty away."

"Swingers exist on every single base in the world, in Sigonella, they would use different boxes of detergent in the windows to show what they were into and what age range they were looking for. Patrolling the housing area became much more interesting when you see who lives in the houses and what they’re into."

Bad Intentions
"The number of people who get sick and tired of being in the service who will go out and do some drug or another to get kicked out. During our Iraq/Afghanistan years, you wouldn't believe how many people would purposely pee hot or, females would intentionally get pregnant to get out of going."

Not Sexy
"A friend of mine in the special forces told me since they are out in the field a lot, they get plenty of ticks. And while you can inspect yourself fairly well, you can’t inspect everything, so they pair up and spread their cheeks, and your mate has to stare into your anus to check you for ticks in there. Not very glamorous."

"Our oceans are loaded with garbage. LOADED."
"I would watch the long trail of garbage follow my ship, in the wake, as crew dumped the s**t off the fantail. Every single day. Miles and miles of trash. And this was just one ship. This was just one nation. Our oceans are full of garbage that will take centuries to erode. Our waters are littered with sh*t that fish are eating and dying on."

Sounds like there is A LOT of fraternization in our Armed services.
Be careful out there.
