Veteran's Day

[Barbershopman]

Have you thanked a veteran today?

My daughter and I were in Applebee's today when a man came in with his cap and, I kid you not, a vest that had so many medals on it, you couldn't see the vest!! The gentleman happened to be a World War II vet. After our meal, we stopped by a few other tables and thanked all of the vets that we saw, but something about shaking this man's hand was awe inspiring. I think it is because there aren't too many World War II vets left.

While I have respect for all veterans, it made my day that I was able to shake the hand of a member of the greatest generation.

^There are still lots of WW II Veterans around.^

I hope that everybody did something to remember Veterans Day.
