Brian Peters had one thing to do before leaving his job as a police officer in Brooklyn—say thank-you to the city he loves. He decided to spend $500 he1for his service to buy 10 gift cards and handed them out to strangers in Brooklyn Center on his2day.
It took him about two hours to3the cards and that he could put smiles on a lot of people's4, including one woman he stopped5noticing the condition of her car. "Her car was really old6damaged. I saw her screen wipers (雨刮器) were7in the up position," Peters said. "I8what I was doing and gave her a gift card, and9she lit up with a smile."
Once people understood what he was doing, Peters said he10a lot more hugs that day. Monique Drier said Peters has11wanted to give back and didn't really want the attention. What's more, he has always tried to12the human side of law practice. He was a great13and will be dearly missed.
Peter said he still wanted to continue giving back to the14. "Community service is extremely important, and when you're fortunate in life, you should give back to others who aren't as fortunate as you," Peter said. "That's what15the world go round."
