GREAT read, Diana. My hubby is a veteran - just the other day someone was drawing his blood in the hospital and somehow the conversation came to my husband saying he was a veteran. When the lab tech was finished, he stuck out his hand and said "thank you for your service" and shook my husband's hand. My husband said to me later - I can count on one hand the number of people who have said that to me........
 Stories like this are important to share. Thanks!

Yes, I'm crying! Diana, thanks, we need to be reminded to be thankful. Gayle, please tell your hubby I thank him for his service and to count me on that hand. I'm one of those people who takes time to thank law enforcement, fire fighters, and soldiers for their time and service. When I meet them in a store or on the street, I always try to at least say "Stay Safe".

I just remembered this summer when we flew to Alaska, a serviceman in uniform was sitting beside me and when they came through with the lunches for sale, the flight attendant told him his lunch was free. This was American airlines.
