I have to share a proud moment...I'm always trying to remind my kids, especially these days, of what the Men and Women in uniform have done and are currently doing for us.
Well last summer my wife took my kids out to lunch at a local friendly's (I was at work, of course). A soldier comes in, wearing his uniform, to get some lunch. Without any prodding or reminders my son asks my wife if he can get up for a minute. She doesn't really know why, she just thinks he wants to hit the mens room. He gets up, walks right up to that Soldier and sticks his hand out to shake the soldier's hand and Says "Thank you for Serving our Country"
Turns out the kid just got back from Iraq and was on his way home. My wife said the soldier had the biggest smile on his face when my Son did that. Even the waitress at Friendly's was touched by it. I don't think I could have been more proud of him than when I heard that.
If you see a Soldier/Sailor don't forget to thank them.
