“After working a crash near Rock Springs, Trooper Mitch Kannier went to the hospital in Rock Springs to meet with the driver of the crash. The driver had some family members present at the hospital including a small boy. While completing his crash investigation, Trooper Kannier heard the boy multiple times say he was hungry.

In talking with the child’s mother, Trooper Kannier learned the family had fallen on hard times and presently had no money. The father had just started back to work and they were waiting on his first paycheck.

After completing his investigation, Trooper Kannier took the boy down to the hospital cafeteria and bought him lunch and also made sure the boy got some food to give to his mom as well.”

Some of the hospital employees that were eating at the time felt this act by Trooper Kannier was really cool and they felt he deserved some recognition for this exceptionally kind deed.

Well done Trooper Kannier. Mission accomplished!
