Two Los Angeles Police Department officers spread some holiday cheer by surprising a 94-year-old veteran with a Christmas tree.
Officers Natalie Nunez and Abel Torres were dispatched last Friday to the home of Herman Perry in Venice to conduct a wellness check.
They found the man to be OK but later realized Perry, a veteran who lives alone, did not have a Christmas tree.
To Perry's surprise, the officers returned with a decorated tree, which he awoke to find in the living room of his apartment.
"I was surprised when I seen it the next day. Beautiful. Thank you," Perry said.
Perry lives alone without any family members nearby.
A local Christmas tree lot donated the tree and lights free of charge.
