We get so caught up in the commercialism of Christmas that we forget what the holiday is about. We give gifts because of the unfathomable gift given to us.
You guys really got it......awesome!
WOW...that is SO INCREDIBLE! As many others have already said, THANK YOU for taking care of a former Marine. I have no doubt that you made his Christmas EXTRA special!
TD, you rock, and you're definitely beard-worthy. The last time I saw that look on an older gent's face was the day my wife's grandfather, after I trekked to Camp Perry, stuck his hand in the muzzle end of a long skinny box and closed it around the business end of a Garand. Well, well done.
That was indeed one heck of a nice thing you and the Mrs. did right there. If only the world were full of more folks like you two. Thank you for this post.
