I Remember

Memorial Day is a day when we pause to remember those who gave everything so you and I can spend our lives in peace. Something happened to me a few weeks go that I didn't give much thought to at the time but Memorial Day brought it back to me.
I was in a store and happened to glance at the entrance. A man entered, much like me, old, tired, bent and a bit rough around the edges. What caught my eye was his U. S. Marine Retired cap. As he looked at me he must have noticed my U. S. Army Retired cap. He straightened his posture, touched his cap with his fingers, smiled and nodded to me. I did the same back. Then we each went on about our business. For a few moments we were brothers again. I remember.
