Surprise for breakfast

[Fox Mike]

Went to my local diner this morning for breakfast. Sitting there reading the newspaper when the waitress came over and said ; "Your meal has been paid for.". I asked who my benefactor was but she wouldn't say. A moment of unknown kindness for me. It IS appreciated.

Neat stuff. Some people give you hope for society. BTW what is that Avatar. Looks like a lizard.

didn't you post about something similar when you were out with another veteran? Regardless, if it was you or I am mixing my threads up. It is good to see that there are some good people in the world.

My wife and I routinely pick random people to buy meals for or sometimes groceries

I quietly pay for breakfast quite often for veterans and active duty military. I also do coins for veterans.
One of the best ones was a few years ago when I saw a man wearing a hat with a 28th Division pin, a Combat Infantryman Badge Bronze Star and Sergeant's chevrons. I sat talking with him and got the server's attention. I paid my bill with his added to mine. He asked for his check and she told him it was taken care of. I told him that he paid that check in 1944 and it was an honor to have breakfast with him.
I later found out that he was the father of a friend of mine from school. I was at their house and saw a shadow board with his awards and rank and division in it. I told her that I had met a veteran from the 28th Division and bought him breakfast. She said "OMG! That was you"? Then she told me how much her dad appreciated what I did. I ordered a 28th Division coin and gave it to her for him. He passed at 98 years of age and his coin is buried with with him.

National Lampoon told too much truth to survive.

My avatar is a 'lazy frog'. I have a small collection of frog statuettes and lawn fixtures. My wife found that for me and sent it in a letter when I was at Fort Bliss many years ago
