On my way home from the beach house, I stopped in Port Huron at McDonald's for a bathroom
break.And a chocolate shake.
OKAY-and a small fry.
In line next to me was a man wearing a Vietnam veteran t-shirt. I asked him if he was, in fact, a veteran. He told me that he was in the Marines and served in Vietnam. I thanked him for his service and bought him his lunch. Whoopee-I spent five dollars and 17 cents on a man that unselfishly sacrificed for our country. Now who's the hero? Teehee!
He was polite and gracious as he thanked me twice. I wished him a Happy Memorial Day and we both went on our merry way.
Such a small gesture on my part did leave me with a smile.
Hope your day gives you something to smile about and if not, for cryin' out loud go get yourself a chocolate shake and a (small) fry! xo

Feels good to do a nice thing for someone. Well played!
Good one, Jodi ~! (I, too, wonder sometimes if the Purple Heart stickers etc. are real or for effect -- not long ago, there was a dude in Texas masquerading as an Army officer, motoring between two wives, until a real vet -- a cop I think -- finally busted him through Q & A.)
I've been to a McD's twice in the past few days, more for coffee on the road. . .

p.s. I was trying to find something on the Texas impostor and found a different one, in Florida: "Stolen Valor? Row in Florida bar as man in uniform 'trying to pick up girls' gets aggressive when he can't answer simple questions about his basic training"

Charles-it was totally my pleasure and the very least I could do! Erik-there seem to be scumbags scammin' everything, everywhere! This man was so humble and sweet and I think he was the real deal. If not-I don't even want to know! Coffee?? Get the shake and fries! Hugs to you two!!
