Long posts

Several years ago, I was in IAH waiting for a flight home, and I bought this book from a kiosk. I had just started reading it when a soldier came up to me.

“Hey! I’m in that!” “Really? Where? You have to sign this!” I gave him my pen.

During the flight I found out the soldier was on the plane. I was in first class (frequent flier), and he was in coach. He was sitting with his friends, so he refused to switch seats. I told the flight attendant that the soldier needed a beer and give him as many as he wants for free, because I would be entitled to that and I was giving mine to him.

The soldier took two. I never saw him again, but that was pretty sweet.

Thank you, vets, for your service.
