[QUOTE="Gregg C, post: 1652615, member: 103471"] He'll, that's not bragging. I can appreciate how special that was to meet a Medal of Honor recipient. Had an older neighbor once who didn't much care for my young teen kids. Always grousing about something. One day the wife said "You gotta go talk to that guy." So I beat on the door expecting the worst. The lady of the house graciously invited me in to talk to her husband. As I walk in, I see an awards display cabinet, with ribbons and medals in it. Closer inspection revealed 2 purple hearts, one with oak leaf clusters....and a Medal of Honor. The man had been among the first wave to hit Normandy Beach. Needless to say, I told my wife " As far as we are concerned , that man has earned the right to say anything he wants to. I don't care who gets their feelings hurt." When she heard why, she agreed. I was extremely humbled to meet that man. Not sure I could have done what he did. Be sure and post a ticket alert thread, and for what it's worth.....thank YOU for YOUR service. [/QUOTE]
