Hi all, quote:
ORIGINAL: Symon Veterans Day. So I'm at Winn Dixie doing last minute shopping for tonight's extravaganza. I'm starting in one direction and this fellow is finishing in the other. We meet in the middle. 94 years old with a cap, in a motor chair with a flag. He was "in tanks" in the big one. Was a farm boy from Nebraska and knew a bit about motors, so ... Ended up behind him in the line-up. Had a grand-daughter with him to help out. They did a total and both were scrambling for wallets and cash, so I stepped around them and slid my card. He did get a bit pissy, but I told him No, "today is your day" and I am going to do this. And seeing as how I'd already done it, that was that. Know all of you have a grocery store where some some vet in a motor chair shops. Just take the time to follow the fellow in the check-out line and pick up his purchases. It will make you feel good. And make them feel good too. Righteosness for righteosness' sake is a key to the Kingdom of Heaven. Ciao. John Well done John! Leo "Apollo11"
