My wife and I have been looking after an elderly 30-year U.S. Air Force veteran whose service spanned the entire Vietnam era, and then some.
Recently, he needed some concrete and tile work done in the main bathroom and he expressed to my wife that he was worried about the cost.
A contractor named Efrain came over to see what kind of work needed to be done and returned the following day. While waiting for the concrete to set, he took time to ask the Vet about some pictures from the retiree’s flying years that my wife arranged neatly on the wall just a few days earlier.
As Efrain finished the job and headed for the door, the elder asked how much he owed.
“Thank you for your service,” was Efrain’s reply.
Remarkable!
I would love to hear your stories of how you honor veterans or remarkable displays of patriotism you have witnessed.
