I sat by a young Army sergeant on the flight home from Anchorage this last Monday night.
We had exchanged probably 3 sentences worth of conversation when, wondering whether or not it was proper, I said, "I just want to thank you for your service and for all that you guys do to keep the rest of us safe."
He smiled, said "Thanks", then leaned back in his seat, and said with a wide, proud grin, "I really like hearing that."
That made my day.
They are our best and brightest, folks; let's give them the gratitude they deserve and do it verbally when we get the chance!
