Evey time I've seen a solder at our local mall. i go out of my way to shake their hand and tell them Thanks.

I want to express my thanks for the sincerity of all those who can honestly appreciate what we soldiers do. I honestly serve because I believe it is the right thing to do and because I have such a deep appreciation for the American Culture and Values. Everytime someone offers to do what this Gentleman did for this young soldier, it makes me feel even more inspired to continue my service and fight the good fight. I am not as good with words as I am with my aid bag or 9mm, but I have felt an amazing amount of kindness and community this holiday season and I attribute it to those of you who honestly appreciate what a soldier is for and why he does what he does. Thank you.

[Cindy]

Just wonderful and awesome...and so like most of the Americans that I know.
THANK YOU.

[RunningWolf]

I should have seen CGV, sorry.

A wonderful story anyway. I don't think most of these kids really the hope promise and potential they represent literally and symbolically.

[RedCell]

No worries. After a while, they all start to look the same anyway, ya know? ;-)

[Brad’s Gramma]

Thank you RedCell!!!!

[RunningWolf]

Correction: I don't think most of these kids really grasp the hope promise and potential that they represent literally/symbolically to the rest of us.

Beautiful story......such kind people in the world. I hope I get the opportunity to do the same someday. Our troops are the finest. We can never repay them, but small acts such as this let them know how truly appreciated they are. Thank you.

[RedCell]

I think "appreciate" is an understatement. I cannot begin to tell you how I feel knowing we have such brave men and women that protect me, my wife and my children. My son is becoming of age where we talk about our military being in the middle east. But I tend to focus on the incredible bravery and integrity of you guys and why you do what you do to keep us out of harms way.

I thank God every day we have those serving in uniform watching over us.

Thank *you*, killermedic, for doing what *you* do. May He watch over you and keep you safe.

Merry Christmas!

[Tainan]

You did good. Merry Christmas.

[Theresawithanh]

Thank you for relating this! God bless the men and women of the United States military!

Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[Taxman]

Taxman Bravo Zulu! for you, the others who stopped by your table, and the soldier!

Isn't America a great country?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, killermedic, for your service to our country.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, RedCell, for making the effort to spend a bit of time with this young soldier. Thanks, soldier, for your service to our country.

[Cindy]
