1. The manager of a Burger King in Belding is going above and beyond when it comes to customer service.
Customer Danielle Ashley was cleaning off her windshield at the drive-thru when her ring fell off and into the snow. The ring was given to her 50 years ago by her late husband. She feared it was gone forever until she got a call from Brian Baum, manager at the restaurant with some good news: he found it.
Danielle offered Brian a reward, but he refused, saying he was just happy to help.
However, Burger King just started an Employee of the Month Program, and Brian will be the first recipient for March and receive a gift card and have his photo put on a plaque.

4. A polar bear cub at the Detroit Zoo experienced snow for the very first time, and the video is so adorable!

She has now graduated from a bottle to drinking formula from a bowl. The cub, who still hasn't been named, is now 20 pounds.
5. It's time to find a military service member to thank because it's National Hug a GI Day.
