A fun evening traveling
Coming home through Atlanta last night, I had an hour to kill. There was a couple in the restaurant, one military, one civilian. Having a big dinner. I called the waitress over and asked if their dinner had been purchased. nope. One AMEX took care of their dinner and whatever else they wanted in that place. I caught my my flight and cried the entire way to KC. God Bless America and our Soldiers who protect us all the time.

You've earned my admiration, Dawg. Very nice thing to do. Done it myself on a couple of occasions as well.

What you did, these guys will remember for ever.
You should have talked to them, that means a lot also.
Not many people stand up for our young troops or soldiers.
I have done the same, and will continue as long as I can.
I understand about the crying, because they are so young.

The old AMEX can come in handy for sure..but the coolest thing is the fact that the person who got the most out of the deed was YOU....and it feels good for awhile.. Last summer I was owed for services by a disabled elderly vet and a delightful gentleman at that...when he asked me how much, I told him that he had already paid.. I hesitated to write this thinking maybe it would come off as blowing my own horn but then I thought..WTF if it prompts even one person to consider doing anything similar. I know I got the most benefit..I was jacked really good the rest of the day.
Several years ago I just started asking every bellringer I saw if they wanted something to drink as I entered the store.. It's really cool...I haven't been turned down yet, not that big of a deal but a nice gesture and they appreciate it.
You done good Dawg...

Bravo, Mr. Dawg!! Also, to the others who have done similar. I've done this myself, and the warm feeling you get in your heart seems to last a good while. I'm a veteran myself and I have much love for my military brothers and sisters, past and present. Pay it forward whenever you have the opportunity.

Two great stories, Dawg and Malwoody, and absolutely noble gestures. Living on the west side of the metro, I am always seeing military personnel in QuikTrip as they are heading to/from Ft Leavenworth, and I always buy their sodas, coffees, etc. I never served in the military, but I am a proud Navy dad. Thanks to all who did serve for your service.

on the flip side I was waiting at the airport and two army NCOs were bitching out the gate agent about how they were heroes and demanding to be upgraded to 1st class.
I know airlines do this when they are able, but these guys were not just expecting it, but demanding it. An old lifer came up and put them in their place.

As a veteran and an Army Mom, Thank you for your generosity. This has happened a couple of times to my son and it always surprises him. With government trying to cut medical benefits, cutting deployment pay, etc. it is nice to know that some Americans do appreciate our military.
As far as to incident with the NCO's, there are always a few bad apples in the mix.
A few of the guys working with my son come over ever so often for home cooked meals. Needless to say I now have several adopted sons.
