The Glue That Holds Us Together

I like to keep these kind of things private from Facebook, but….

Today while shopping at the grocery store I was in the cash out line (if you know me – you know I am a coupon queen), and an older veteran walks up behind me.

Me: Hey Sir, I noticed that cashier over there is open – to save you time. I mental noted his veteran hat, breakfast, and dimly lit smile.

Vet: No that’s alright, I don’t mind. I’m just going home and going to bed.

If you know me, you also know that older people have a special place in my heart. This man reminded me of my Veteran Great Grandfather “PA”.

Me: *Hands the cashier enough cash to pay for his goods & asks her to apply to his bill* Thank you Sir for your patience and service!

So yes, I paid for his bill. And I’m only sharing this because — you should’ve seen his face light up. I hope I made his night.

This is what America is about. Not nasty politics or hate.

Happy Belated Veterans Day to all who served.
