We went to the Sunshine nursery today for our tomato plants. We got a nice prize with the plants. We were putting our purchase in the truck and I noticed a little boy squinting to read the plate on the front of the truck. It is Ron's VFW Life Member license. Ron looked up in time to see the boy suddenly stand tall and salute. Is that a dose of sunshine or what?
It is amazine how quickly the things that matter in life can come into proper perspective.

good basic fundamentals should be taught early to children---absolutely nothing wrong with "respect for elders", especially "veterans"
ReplyDeleteYup, he's been taught right. I bet his daddy or granddaddy is a VFW.
ReplyDeletei could do with some sunshine too!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so maudlin' ...this brought tears to my eyes..
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to that boy's parents..whoever they are and You Deserve it Ron!!!!!!
That is the sweetest thing I've heard all day. Awesome for you all!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute story!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story. Kudos to that boys parents. It brought tears to my eyes and I had to share it with my supervisor who is a VFW. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou guys grow them right! Our puny city folk need to take lessons instead of anti war/gun protests.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet! That little guy has a veteran in his home, I'll bet.
ReplyDeleteMy heart skipped a beat reading this, I'll bet his did, too.
ReplyDeleteSomeone taught that little boy what it really means....Good parents! He was showing his respect....A lot more than our own government does.
ReplyDeleteThat is priceless! I would love to have seen that boy salute Ron like that. What a kid! I'm sure that filled Ron's heart with pride and appreciation.
ReplyDeleteA ray of sunshine indeed!
