Have we yet mentioned the troops who struggled to get out to thank us? How about the ones who watched from the Hospital and got their family to bring them out to thank us?
I often had to walk away to wipe away the blurry vision from realizing the sacrifice these wonderful young men made for my safe life!
These nights have renewed my service, in my own area, during the rest of the year. I went to the recruiting center on Armed Forces Day again this year. All the faces had changed but they were aware I had come before and welcomed me again. Cupcakes and brownies are always appreciated by the young and THIN folks there!
Yes, somewhere in this AAR I had mentioned about the wounded warriors or their parents coming out to thank us. You are right, their trips to the gates were blurry eyed moments.
Good deal on your visit to the recruiters. Cupcakes and brownies, sounds yummie. Thanks. We also did Recruiter Appreciation again this year. A client of mine donated some big bucks to the DC Chapter so we were also able to do the DC recruiter’s office. Watch for Kburi’s AAR.
