I tried watching this short movie, but my screen got real fuzzy.

It’s still fuzzy.

I try to say thank you all the time. Sometimes I see these “kids” and I get a catch in my throat.

But I let them know I am grateful for their service. I let the oldsters wearing the WW2 and the Korea caps, and the Vietnam caps(they’re my age) too that I appreciate their service.

Someone I know well, when he sees a military person or a group in a restaurant, enlists the waitress in a secret mission.

He tells the waitress that he will pick up their tab, but they are not to know who in the restaurant is paying for them. Then he pays his tab and theirs and tips extra well for both tabs, for the waitress keeping the secret.

The look on the soldiers’ faces when they realize they just got a free meal is priceless.

Sometimes, the restaurant comps their meals when they hear of the secret mission from the waitress. They want the soldiers to know they are appreciated as well.

Such a small thing, but it means so much to those who give so much to us.

May God bless and protect every single one.

Down right caused sand to blow right in my eyes...couldn’t get it out either until after the movie was over.
