I have a Thanksgiving “feel good” story I’d like to share-
(I already told you about it, Larry, but to anyone else that feels like reading),
Wednesday evening (night before Thanksgiving), I was in a very crowded supermarket picking up a few things. I was wearing my U.S.S. Asheville jacket with several military patches on it (U.S.S. Asheville was the Patrol Gunboat I was on in Vietnam in 1971).
As I was walking up one of the aisles of the store, I heard a voice behind me say “Excuse me, Sir.” I turned to look to see who it was- it was a young man in his early/mid 30’s in a wheelchair. He stuck his hand out to me to shake my hand and said “I want to thank you for your service.”
That floored me. I thanked him back and, not wanting to make any inferences about his disability, asked if he was a veteran. He said no, but his father served in Vietnam and his sister is still on active duty with the U.S. Army. He offered to pay for my groceries, but I wouldn’t let him.
Yeah- it made me feel pretty darn good. So did the timing of the encounter.

What an amazing story Garry. There really are great people out there (including you!)
