Hi, folks...I am in Richmond with my girls. I wanted to tell you about my stop about halfway here at a Sheetz to get a drink and visit the ladies' room. I pulled in behind an SUV with a bunch of "support our troops" magnetics and a "Semper Fi" sticker. I watched as an older gentleman got out, pumped gas, and then came in. I went up to him and saw he had a hat on with "Marines" across the front. I told I had noticed his SUV and his hat and asked if he had served as a marine. He nodded his head (a little bewildered, it seemed, at my questions), and I put out my hand. I said, "I'd like to shake your hand and thank you for your service. Have a good veterans day." He thanked me and smiled, and looked a little teary-eyed. I felt so blessed to have the chance to thank him.
Ok...I'm probably not going to be online much. My girls and I are going to "partyyyyyyyyyyy"!!!
Good job Gummy, Enjoy yourself.
Oh, Gummy.....my monitor is all fuzzy. Thank you for thanking that Marine, especially on this day, Veterans Day!! ((HUGS))
