GREAT FALLS, Mont. — Officers who were in town to honor a fallen officer received a “thank you” note instead of a restaurant bill.

Rosebud County Sheriff Allen Fulton wrote on Facebook that he was dining with a Rosebud undersheriff and officers from Chicago and Fort Worth at Sir Scott’s Oasis Steakhouse Tuesday after attending the funeral for Deputy Mason Moore. Moore was fatally shot during a pursuit on May 16, the Associated Press reported.

When it came time to receive the bill for their meal, server Jaclyn Machado handed them a note stating their meal was covered, KRTV reported.

“Gentlemen, dinner tonight is a gift from my family and me,” the note read. “May the Almighty watch over you. Thank you for all that you do to serve.”

Fulton thanked the restaurant and employee for their support.
