What are you waiting for?
I have always had a soft spot in my heart for military personel. Perhaps because I know what its like to be 9000 miles from home and being shot at and hated by people you don't even know for a cause you are not even sure of.
Last night while in Wal-Mart doing what I hate most {shopping at wal mart} I came to the check out line behind a young woman dressed in what looked like military clothes. As she emptied her cart she turned slightly towards me and I could see an insignia on her collar. I couldn't bear it any more. I had to ask "excuse me miss, are you in the military? "
"Air Force", she replied.
"Forgive me for not recognizing the insignia. I am not fimiliar with their ranks." I told her.
She smiled and paid for her goods with a debit card and fished in her pocket for cash to pay for something else. She kept digging for some change she was short and I handed her a dollar. She looked at me kinna shocked and I said "please take it, and also take my thanks"
"I don't understand" she replied
"thank you for your service to our country" was my answer. "and have a happy holiday too"
She accepted and went along with her buggy and I started getting my stuff.
Well, WTF, I may have some Christmas spirit left in me after all.
