Last summer I was fishing a reservoir in California. I stopped for a rest and while I was approached by a warden of the Cal fish & game. He asked to check my license and then we yak for a few minutes and he asked what I did for a living and I responded that I was retired from the Army. The warden took ahold of my shoulders and gave me one great bear hug and a appreciation for my military. His gesture and our conversation made my day.
Please remember that a lot of those who didn't serve in the military deserve a thanks for their support of those who did.
