***UPDATE***
Just had another amazing encounter at the Kerrville HEB this afternoon. Met the man I posted the story about a couple days ago... Lt. Col. Bill Bullard WWII P-51 Mustang pilot. He was standing in the meat mkt minding his own business when i spotted him. I said “Col. Bullard?” and he said “yes sir that’s me”. He’s 91 years old now but you’d never know it. No glasses, big smile on his face wearing a pair of jeans with the cuffs rolled up, cowboy hat and boots. He told me what a thrill it was to fly in a Mustang one more time over England a couple weeks ago. After that he went to Holland to visit sights that were familiar to him from those days. I told him what an honor it was to get to meet him in person and thanked him for his service to our Nation. I’ll never forget this day.
