Makenna Woodburn was standing in line waiting to get an autograph from Boston Red Sox players when she spotted a true hero.

Makenna, seven, left her spot in line and approached U.S. Army Reservist Olyvia Russell, who was at the event in uniform, and asked for her autograph.

“She’s a hero instead of a baseball player,” Makenna explained.

She added that she is saving her allowance to purchase a case to keep the ball in and that she plans to take the ball to show and tell.
