This great weekend was a lot of fun. We spent a lot of time around the little town near our cabin.
We were in town at the Ice Cream shop when 5 of our fighting troops came in. By the conversation, a couple of them had just got home from a tour. The Sargent told his men that he was buying.
While they were ordering I thanked them for their service and walked to the other side of the place. I found the Store Manager whom I have talked with many times before. He welcomed me and I told him about the Soldiers.
"Give them what they want and then come to me for payment."
"I can do that!"
There was some conversation and then the soldiers went outside. The owner came back and thanked me. He said he gave them each an extra Ice cream treat. He also said he would split the cost for what they had wanted. I thanked him and went out side.
There I was stopped! "Hey, You...come here! We know it was you! Thanks...No one has done anything like that for us before."
"That is a small price to pay compared to all you HEROES!" I replied.
We talked a bit and they were on their way. They thought that we very lucky to have met me.
They were wrong! I am the lucky one!
Bill...
