The Vietnam Veteran was robbed in the middle of the day on his own porch off Greenlawn on Detroit's west side.

He couldn't see well and couldn't open the door, surveillance video from his doorbell camera shows what happens next.

"They told him to sit down and give up everything he had on him," Ella said.

The man in the hoodie pulls out a pistol pointed right at Kendrick.

"One guy had a gun the other guy was taking his stuff," she said.

You can see him pulling off his jewelry, sentimental jewelry that can't be replaced.

"They got his bracelet four rings his watch, his chain, and his cell phone" she said.

They took the few dollars he had on him too and left Kendrick stunned.

"You don't feel safe no more," she said.

"Why you go robbing people why would you steal from somebody go out and work for what you want instead of stealing from the people who worked all their lives to accumulate what they got," she said.
