An IHOP waitress in Texas has made one superhero very happy.
Regina Thomason had just taken her brother, Dwayne Roach to a doctor’s appointment, and after they decided to stop off at their local IHOP restaurant in Abilene, Texas.
IHOP is most famous for its delicious pancakes (complete with that little ball of butter on top) and 24-hour service. But Abilene, Texas IHOP server, Millie Young, has given the chain a new claim to fame thanks to her act of kindness.

Dwayne, who has Down Syndrome, is Regina’s oldest sibling at 50 years old. Dwayne lives at home with his retired parents and has developed various health conditions, including Alzheimer’s Disease. Regina helps Dwayne and her parents by taking him to some of his doctor’s appointments.
That day, the family sat down at the restaurant and Millie approached their table. Dwayne was immediately drawn to her name tag because he “has a thing for badges and name tags.” Dwayne told Millie he liked her name tag and the waitress “started talking to [him] like they had known each other forever.” This struck Regina because when her brother tries to talk to people, they tend to “smile and nod” because they are uncomfortable.

Dwayne told Millie his name was “Captain America”, which is his favorite hero because of “his red, white, and blue uniform.” Millie took note of this and at the end of their meal brought Dwayne a surprise.
Regina and Dwayne finished their food and were just about to leave the restaurant when Millie approached them again with something for Dwayne.
She produced a Captain America name tag and pinned it on his shirt.

Dwayne was so happy and his sister was so impressed she took to social media to talk about their thoughtful server and how much her sweet gesture meant to her brother.
Millie even said “Bye Captain America,” to Dwayne on the way out.
In an interview with a TV station, News4 Millie said she always tried to make her guests happy.
“When people come in, I want to make them smile. If they leave happy, it makes me happy,” she said.
Sure, this may seem like a small gesture to us, but, for Dwayne, it meant the world. Her thoughtfulness made this man and his sister so happy.
