Dinner One DaySource: KP I wanted to share an experience I had. I was at a local eating establishment with my wife and there was a gentle who stop by my table on the way out and said "I just want to thank you for all you all do and please let me pay for your lunch". I didn't even get his name but he placed the money on the table shook my hands and walked off. I sat there and was somewhat in shock. I then realize that I had on my uniform and he was saying thanks to the military. After it all sunk in, I went out to the parking lot but he was already gone. I have been active duty Air Force for 20 plus years and that was one of the most amazing things that every happend to me. On Sept 11 2001, i was at my base work with the drug testing program and I sat there and watch the first plane hit the tower. I said to myself that doesn't look like an accident and a few minutes later the second one hit. I deployed on 12 Sept 2001. The action of the man who came to my table and in just simple small way, said thanks deeply touched me. |
