I was staying at an exclusive gold club/spa in San Diego. I was having dinner, alone when a couple sat down at the table next to me. I found out he had just gotten back from Iraq and they were about to get engaged. As I left, I picked up their dinner check (which was not small) ... without saying a word. It felt really good.

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.

A wonderful gesture from an undoubtedly wonderful person!

I salute you.
