Gone But Not Forgotten
Some day I want to get up the courage to buy one or two or three or four lunch. I had the chance at a McDonalds one time. The place was busy as all get up and they were like 4 people in line in front of me. Didn't work out.

Really powerful, Murph. I'm typing this through a veil of tears so if there are nay horrid typos that's why.
Wore my Vietnam Vet cap to a local Wendy's a couple of months ago, and a young lady (early 20's I'd guess) actually did step up and pay for my lunch. I was more than surprised, especially when you consider the "thanks" we got back then. All I could do was echo her "Thank you"; it didn't seem enough but I could think of nothing else to say. Fought back tears for several minutes that day.

Do you know that our Military is more respected today than it ever has been in the past and as for our elected officials, well that is another story.
Danang, if I was with you this day I surw would buy you lunch. Thanks for your service

thank you to all those out there who are buying lunches and want to buy a lunch when I come from a small town about 4000 people so the whole town knew who deployed from the NG unit i had restaunt owners refusing to take payment and people trying to buy me lunch long after i retired i kind of felt bad as i was payed good and i just did what i swore to do. but i thanked every body and to this day i'm still thankfull too all those who do that.I believe the military helped mold me into the man i am now and think all young people should serve a few years in would help develip leader ship in our future politicians.
