Thanks Billie! I saw a license plate at Wal Mart the other day as we were walking into the store. The couple stopped as we crossed in front of them (me with my three munchkins in tow. The woman in the passenger seat waved and smiled at my little 2 yr old. I chuckled. Older folks are always so taken by little ones...Then I saw the plate. "WWII Vet" and suddenly I got this big lump in my throat. I just feel my heart swell with gratitude and profound respect when I see something like that... and here they were, a couple of normal people, waving at my kids and smiling.

I'm probably not making much sense, but the two things just really seemed to get to me that day!
