STORY TIME!!!!

Two days ago, I was in Sams' shopping for stuff for The Boy's first lemonade stand.

Combing thru the aisles, I met a tall old fellow. He had a WW2 Veterans cap, and an old USAAF pin on.

We talked. He flew the B-29 in the Pacific. I told him about Iraq. He wondered how it REALLY was (guess he didn't believe what he was told). I told him.

We shook hands. He had a fine grip for his age. We parted company. We both walked a little taller.

How neat that you and the WWII vet were able to meet and talk about your respective experiences.
