This morning, I was having breakfast at my usual off-work hangout. A soldier in uniform was walking past and an elderly lady at the next table stopped him, “can I give you a hug?” she asked.

The trooper looked a little embarrassed, but he leaned over and she gave him a big hug, as he did, I caught his eye and gave him a smile and a thumbs up. He smiled back and gave me a little nod, then stood and thanked the lady for her support, and joined his friends.

I leaned over to the lady, who was beaming with pride, and told her that what she did was really nice, and I thanked her for making my day.

I have to admit, I was a bit choked up, it was a very emotional thing to watch. And you know what? It didn’t matter that she was black and he, white, they were just two proud Americans, one defending our freedoms, and one thankful for it. Yep, made my day!

God Bless America!
