FRISCO (CBSDFW.COM) - Police officers in Frisco responding to a call at Walmart went above and beyond, according to those who saw their act of kindness for a homeless veteran.

Witnesses said the veteran appeared to suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Rather than merely ask him to leave the store, officers bought the man some new clothing and necessities.

One shopper took a photo and posted it to the Frisco Police Department's Facebook page, thanking them.

The post read in part:

"It completely warmed up my heart to see how our police officers came together to buy him some goodies along with some clothing items and a duffle bag for his new items. It's sad to see a person who has served our country go through these unfortunate moments."
