As a Military member or Veteran, have you experienced kindness from others?

Two years ago, at the AQ Chicken House Restaurant in Springdale, AR, I had a man come by my table and hand me ten dollars to pay for my meal. This was the first time that this had ever happened to me. In the past week, I have had more than my share of kindness bestowed on me. I ordered a hamburger and fries at a Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steakburgers in Branson, MO. I had handed the cashier my money, when another cashier, Cynthia, came over and gave my money back to me. She told me that my meal was on her, as her father had served in Vietnam. Two days later, I was again eating at Freddy's, and a lady walked over to my table and handed me a small box that was knitted, with the American flag on top of the box, and the red, white, and blue colors on the sides and bottom of the box. Inside the box was a flag pin, a 1971 JFK half dollar, and a cross. On Saturday, I was getting ready to pay at the Economy parking lot in Portland, OR. The cashier noticed my Marine cap and asked me if I was a service connected disabled veteran. I told her that I was, and she then asked to see me VA card. After showing her the card, she had me fill out a form, and instead of paying for parking, I paid nothing. Their policy is to provide up to 14 consecutive days of free parking to disabled veterans. I appreciated these acts of kindness, and the best thing I can do, is to pay it forward.
