Veterans' Day

[Stump]

This is a special Veterans' Day, 11/11/11. We could never adequately thank all troops past and present for their service and sacrifice for civilian safety. Our thanks and gratitude should be perpetual, not just one day. Blessings to all troops and their families...Thanks for serving. Gerry T. Thanks

I did that the other day in the mall, this very old gentlemen and his wife were walking on by, lost in bliss, they were that old. He had a WWII cap on, with pins and medals on it.. I knew that his story will soon be lost as many of these men are dropping like flies.. So I walked up and embraced his hand, his face was old, his hands were weak and brittle in my shake, his eyes were a deep blue with heavy bags under them. I look him in his eyes and thanked him, as his eyes light up and I seen them swell up with excitement, yet watered with a tear, and yet shock to see me standing there. He smiled and spoke too softly, I was unable to understand him, but his eyes told me enough. His wife stood on, and looked proud at him, as she looked at her brave but aged soldier, she then placed her hand in his and they walked on.
I thought all day about his eyes, that once upon a time his young mind bared witness with those eyes to things that I could never fathom. Like his eyes were a bank vault that locked away images that he will take to the grave.

He wasn't the only person that I thanks in my days, but he is one that I will mostly likely never forget!
