Thanks for sharing that story. It means more than you can image.

Normally I avoid checkout chitchat, but this couple were so excited and clearly waiting for someone to ask.

I'd like to think I "got it" on why we went to Iraq, but after hearing 1st hand what life was like...why they came here.. how they love the USA but now have hope of returning to Iraq... and they voted!

I didn't cry at the store, but I did come home and hug the dog.
