That's really awesome and I for 1 wish we would hear more stories like so instead of the majority we hear about our young <+>< Ps 46:1 ><+>
I saw this a few days ago and was moved by it. Yesterday on my way to go shed hunting, there was a national guard member buying coffee and a breakfast burrito at the convenience store as I was paying for my gas. So, I paid for his and asked the clerk to just tell him "Thank you for your service, your coffee and burrito are paid for." As I was starting my truck, he ran out to thank me. Boy, it sure feels good to show gratitude to our men and women in uniform. I've also been checking in to finding where Master Eckert lives to send him a gift certificate to a video game store (what he first thought about using the money for).
