Thank you for sharing that story and for your generosity. These people do risk their lives for us and they sure are underpaid for the risks they take.
To: StarCMC
That it is. I teared up reading this and thought the Canteen folks might enjoy it as well.

I send books and jigsaw puzzles to our local VA hospital.
I asked what sort of things the patients would like and was told - blankets. I guess the hospital issue are not the most cheerful, so each year I try to pick out a few colorful ones.
Merry Christmas!

I always give serving - and retired - military a discount in my store.
Never had a negative response.
Merry Christmas

"As I left, I picked up their dinner check (which was not small) ... without saying a word. It felt really good."A wonderful gesture from an undoubtedly wonderful person!
I salute you.
