It was the ultimate show of respect for a disabled Vietnam war veteran on Memorial Day weekend.
Going above the call of duty, two San Diego police officers pushed Gilbert Larocque nearly two miles home after his 300-pound motorized scooter broke down on a busy road.
For the 67-year-old whose legs were injured when he worked as a door gunner in the Army, the officers' kindness is something he will never forget.
'You wouldn't expect them to do something like that … push you all the way home,' Larocque toldABC 10 News.
'I appreciate what they did. They went out of their way. How many people would stop?'

This happens all the time.
Glad they went above and beyond the call of duty for this veteran, and on Memorial Day too. Beautiful!
Those cops have dinner at my house ANY day, anytime, and they can tell me what to cook and bring their families, too.
Stay the weekend, too, and I'll take them to a gun range and they can run off a few hundreds rounds of any weapon they choose --- I'll pay for every round.
R E S P E C T.
Many cops do the right thing.
It's their job.
Too many more don't.
Real heroes!! God bless them!!!!!
