Polito letter: Thank you

Kudos to John and Westside Auto Body Shop at 459 N. Five Mile Road in Boise for showing the Memorial Day spirit on May 31. My son needed his car immediately fixed to continue his trip across the country to Florida and then to Washington, D.C., to report at the Pentagon for work as a commander in the United States Navy. John went out of his way to make sure his car was safely drivable very efficiently and promptly. My son tried to pay and tip them and all they said was, “Thank you for serving our country.”

I want to recognize and thank John and Westside Auto Body Shop for this nice gesture and for going above and beyond.

Virginia Polito, Deerfield Beach, Fla.
