Super good story

[Smurfy]

being thanked is the greatest compliment a service member can receive. kudos to your son.

it reminds me of the time I was standing in line at Dunkin Donuts in my winter blues (NAVY), and there was a young boy probably around 6 or 7 there with his grandparents.

He was looking over at my ribbons and rating badge. So, his grandma says, why don't you go over and ask.

So, he comes over and starts asking what each of my ribbons were for and what my rating badge meant, so I knelt down and told him all about them and we must have talk for 5 to 10 minutes. The glimmer of fascination in his eyes I will never forget. These are some of the reasons I love putting on my uniform and serving my country.

for sure!

I love moments like that
