On this veteran's day

[nadinbrzezinski]

I went to the commisary to get my groceries for the week... one way we expand our grocery bill.

Now I have not done that regularly since we lived on Base in Hawaii. So today, Veteran's day a young couple was in front of me

For whatever reason their WIC was not working... I'd guess this is a young enlisted. So I told the cashier... put the milk on my tab.

Marine looks a little embarrased, and I told him, one day when you are old enough and have a better income, you'll do the same for a young E-3 and his family. It was him, his wife and his two young children, one still a baby

The point of the story is... this guy is on givernment assistance while the Mercs are making five, at times six times as much a month... and they can quit any time they want... while this young Marine can't.

Think about it on this day...
