Commendable, but it’s sad that this is newsworthy.

Before he left, his father gave him a $100 bill to make sure he could always get home.

I want that $100 bill. It works.

We joked about it (keeping the money) a little bit, but we all knew we would never feel good about it, never feel right,” Kyle said. - Too bad most people lose this as they "grow up".

He gave away over $600. Isn’t a typical reward 10% or so?

"“We joked about it a little bit, but we all knew we would never feel good about it, never feel right"

These kids were raised right, probably by conservative parents.

You know, with all the low-life scumbags in the world, it is great to know that there are some really good people too.

That the wallet appeared is the really amazing part of this story, IMO.

These boys were raised right. Kudos to their parents too.

That wallet was so jam-packed with prayer and good karma that it just -had- to find a happy end.

I'd be proud to call those boys mine for their upright belief and behavior. Good for them, and also for their parents.

I had a green nylon wallet (with velcro). They were fashionable in the 80’s. Mine floated also.

I am going out on a limb here and guessing that these parents don’t let their kids play Grand Theft Auto IV. The parents of these kids should all be commended for raising such honest, young men.

Looks like some moms raised their kids right. What a great story.
