Don't Wait Till Veterans Day To Thank A Vet.

Coming home from hunting last night I stopped to grab a coffee. Saw an old truck with an Army plate. Asked the driver if he was a veteran .When he said yes I told him I would like to shake his hand. He looked surprised. Then this morning I received this in an E mail. Hope you enjoy it. It sure made me proud.

Great post, I called a friend of mine yesterday (vetran of Vietnam 2 tours) that is having a hard time of it. Had his hip replaced, a new valve in his heart, he recently fell during recovery from his surgery cracked his skull and was in a coma for a month plus.
His wife in the mean time has dementia and he can not take care of her anymore so she is in a home and on her last leg.
Now the reason for the long post, when I ask Gary how he is doing his response is always above the grass and improving but never feeling sorry for himself. If you know a vetran call or go see them they do appreciate it!
