A 76-year-old woman was in the parking lot of a grocery store. Security cameras were filming when a young man attacked her in his attempt to steal her purse. However, another man named Kendrick Taylor was not about to let this stand. The Navy veteran heard the woman scream and jumped into action. Without hesitation, Kendrick ran after the thief, tackled him and restrained him while he called the police.
Not only did Kendrick receive the Medal of Merit from the Orlando Orange County Sheriff's Office for his good deed, Ellen also heard his story and invited him onto her show.
