| The Conversation Pit This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it! |

I was Humbled today
I volunteered at the kids school to help with a field trip at the zoo today. I was standing in the gift shop and this 9-10 year old boy comes up to me. He asked "Was you in the Airborne?" I said yes. He held his hand out to shake mine. He said "Thanks for what you do, and welcome home." I was kinda shocked at the respect that this kid had. Not only with me but how he carried himself in the store, but how he was around the zoo.

Well Chuck don't know what to say about that, the only thoughts that comes to mind is all is not lost in our youth and that's great to see a kid with that kind of respect. Hopefully his respect will spread throughout his class.

Every time I start to think there's no hope, something like this comes along and restores my faith. Thanks, Chuck!

Airborne all the way! Love it! Love to hear about stories like this... I'm fortunate to live in a small town where veterans are appreciated, but I have many friends who do not... and are not.
Good stuff, man.
