A Veteran Experience

I had a great business trip to Texas and Florida this last week but the trip's highlight didn't happen until the very end. Last night, when our plane landed in Seattle, they announced that a Pearl Harbor survivor was seated in the very back. When the plane came to a stop we all stayed respectfully seated while this hero slowly made his way up to the front of the plane. When he got to the front door this older gentleman said a few words on the intercom. He quietly and emotionally talked about how proud he was to be an American citizen and he said to please pray for our men and woman risking their lives for our freedom. It was an amazing and moving experience, there was not a dry eye on the plane. God Bless and Happy Veterans Day everybody
