Did you thank the soldier for his service to our country?
I always try to do this. I’ll never forget a male and female in camo I ran into when shopping with my mother in Wal Mart. I put my hand on the man’s shoulder and said to both of them, “I want to thank you for your service to our country.” I’ve never seen smiles as big.
I always touch them and say, “We appreciate you!”
They always grin or say, “Thank you, Ma’am!”
Good question, but no, not this time.
I usually make sure to thank them, but I guess I was so “blessed” by his response that I lost my head. Thanks for the reminder.
I was working for a phone flower company at home taking orders for Valentine’s day and a soldier called from Iraq. I think he was a little shocked when I thanked him for what he and his friends were doing in Iraq and not for his order.
Bless them all!
