Be glad you didn't try and strike up a conversation about Star Wars with him, you'd never have gotten to hear his story.

Great story Nance........but tell me you didn't let him see you drive away in your Toyota.

We owe a lot to those brave men and women.

When I meet or hear about a WW vet, all I can think of is this picture. They led the way...

I read this post after reading (for some totally unknown reason) a post about some stupid crap some high school students pulled that didn't even make sense. What a difference.

You have redeemed my day on the board. An awesome story.

Thank you for that, and thank you for your service, and God bless both of you.

Glad I could help! =)

Britts? :D

No, they were in France

Because you are a former Marine too buddy.

You never know, he might enjoy chewing the fat with you, and might not have anyone in his life interested in hearing his stories (hard to believe, but I've heard that before).

A lot of those guys are in the twilight, and maybe he might enjoy talking...finally.

My uneducated guess is, he'd rather share with a Brother like you.

You're probably right... It just didn't seem right coming from him, going through what he went through, and the worst that happened to me was Parris Island... heh He did seem to enjoy recalling it all to me though, even though I was a total stranger... I didn't want to impose, so I didn't ask too many questions, but I got the feeling if I would've, he'd have relived it all for me...

Of course I remember you! =)

Donuts for lunch is justifiable, IMO

That would've been a 'crickets' conversation, I'm sure...

I'd have had to walk home and have the wife come back for the car... lol

Thank God I drive a Dodge!
