standing in line at the grocery store, Bob was at the check out counter, I was standing behind looking at all the gossip magazines, a gentleman behind me nodded to me and said, “Tell him thank you” I said, “ok” with a question on my face and the man pointed to his head. Bob was wearing a ball cap. A Viet Nam Marine Corp ball cap. I smiled and said “thank you I will tell him”
It made Bob proud…
It made me proud….
Thank you Bob, for serving our country and for being my husband who I love, adore, and am so proud of.

Oh Linda, what a lovely post and tribute to your hubby! And to have thanks and recognition from a total stranger - that is what your Veteran's Day and our Remembrance Day is all about! We are grateful for our freedom!
