This made my day.......Mind you I just dropped the kids off at school....no makeup, jeans, baggy sweater....hair pulled in ballcap with my SUPPORT OUR TROOPS pins on it, including T's Soldiers' Angel Pin.Happy Birthday, Angel!
I was in the frozen food getting juice for tomorrow's party when I hear....."LOOK SHE IS AN ANGEL, HONEY" Sorry, when people say look, I look.....I saw it was the 3 of us in the aisle and I am thinking no I am not an ANGEL.....hehehehe. I looked at the couple...she is in tears, he is giving me a salute. Then it hits me....ANGEL!! Shocked... I had the SA pin on my cap. He is a HERO!!! Shocked... He didn't have an Angel but MANY MANY in his Unit had angels so he knew about Soldiers' Angels. He had so much support from home he didn't need Soldiers' Angels, but told alot of newbies to the SANDBOX to get signed up.
He is SSGT J his wife is L.....he is on leave....vacation in (edited) since they will be coming to FT (edited) soon. He just came back from the SANDBOX about 3 weeks ago. Had heard from a guy about how (edited) was a great place to go and he needed to go to (edited) and relax for a bit. SO they just drove in from (edited).....didn't even have a place to stay tonight....UNTIL.....the (edited) he was refering to is where I work. I got them a room. And I would be seeing them later today. He is going to be around for a few days. He is thinking of even coming over for Pizza/Birthday Cake tomorrow night. That would be a great BDAY present..... Laughing
Ok I am not sure if I will ever admit to being an ANGEL, but with getting a salute today....I will admit to being a SOLDIERS' ANGEL.
Oh yeah and one extra note.......I had to get new juice....it wasn't frozen after we stood there and talked......LOL!
