Server shares photo of officers' heartfelt tribute to officer Miguel Moreno

Officers order fallen brother's favorite beer, burger from local restaurant

SAN ANTONIO – Ten officers came in, 11 meals were ordered.

On Thursday night, a group of San Antonio Police Officers who had just left a service for fallen officer Miguel Moreno walked into the Tycoon Flats restaurant near downtown and ordered their favorites from the burger joint -- also ordering for Moreno, who would never get to join them as he once did.

The officers enjoyed their food and left a seat at the table for Moreno. His place at the table was reserved by his go-to meal: the Ize Box Jalapeno Bacon Burger, fries and a Miller Lite.

When the officers left, John, a server at Tycoon Flats snapped a photo of the gesture and shared it to Imgur, saying, "my last table of the night was a group of police officers. They'd just attended a memorial service for a fallen officer. They ordered him a burger and a beer."
