I just have to share this...
Was just at the store and noticed a very handsome young man in front of me in-line. A tatoo on his arm said Iraq, something to August, 2007. I got his attention and thanked him for his service.
He looked me straight in the eye and said, "No problem m'am, glad to do it." I asked him his name and he replied, "American soldier, m'am, just American soldier." then he winked at me and walked out.
The best our country has.
Thanks for thanking him.
>Tears...<
Yes. God bless them all.
That’s priceless! Thanks, for sharing.
The left would say this...
One of my favorite quotes is “Opinions are like hemorrhoids every asshole has one”.
He had a limp, scars all over his arms, a warm smile and a twinkle in his eye.
Amen and amen.
If he’s anything like me, he’ll be smiling the rest of the day. :)
God bless him and all his fellow soldiers. They are truly our finest. The protestors look like the dregs they are, next to these guys.
proud ping!
We had a similar phrase that was used on our O.R. Everyone has opinions just like they do A**holes but they shouldn’t show em off.
Thanks for posting this. Our military are our country’s finest.
“Opinions are like assholes...everybody has one, but very, very few are worth a close look.”
Siding with the enemy is not having an opinion, it’s treason.
Good for you. I do the same thing. It’s nice to see a better reception for today’s troops than what occurred in the 1960’s.
Supporting the enemy while in war has never been a right for any citizen.
Such unselfish humility betokens a genuine hero.
I had a moment like this just the other day. Saw a man at the gas station, traveling a distance from the look of things.
His hair was very close on the sides, and very short on the top. I pulled out and swung up next to his vehicle, low and slow. Rolling the window down, I got his attention and said,
“I want you to know,
that’s my favorite haircut in the whole world.”
And gave him a wink.
He looked at me a moment, then broke out into a smile that lit up my world
That is cute and sweet :)
