I got a hug from a soldier today...
There was a young man in the store today looking for a going away gift for his girl, because he is going to Ft. Benning, Ga, for basic training in the Army.
My manager was waiting on him and was making suggestions, and I showed him the patriotic jewelry that I was wearing today, including the charm pictured above. I also told him that I wear red every Friday to support our brave troops. He turned to me and said, "Well...I just HAVE to give you a hug!"
And he did. It made my day. |
