A Post Easter reflection - While in NY for Easter, I made a pilgramage to the local nice mall that my Mom and I used to ride the bus to and go shopping together. This trip, with the spouse in tow and accompanied by my Dad, we made a trip to this mall, visiting the Apple Store, Bath and Body Works and of course, my favorite, the Sunglass Hut. Dad was wearing the baseball cap I bought for him some Christmas' ago, the one that said WWII Vetern. He loves that hat. And we shopped, looked, bought Mom some bath stuff as well as stuff in the Apple store [of course].
But what surprised me the most was that as Dad followed me around, as I explained the technology of iPods and laptops to him and he watched me try on sunglasses, the sales guys in each store, noticing Dad's hat, acknowledge his Vetern status. Each guy, with true sincerity, said "Thank you sir, for serving". That's my Dad, and I am so proud of him.
Here's to all who served and are still serving - Never unnoticed, never forgotten.
