So we find a spot to park at State Fair in someones yard just 3 block or less from the entrance gate - parking was $10.00 so Paul went to pay him with a $10 bill and the guy gave Paul back $5.00 and then came towards me to thank me for my service! Wow what a nice surprise and way to start our day at the fair. The a Nam Vet walks up to me and starts talking telling me some of his story in the service he was enlisted and a doc aka medic stationed in Japan! We chatted and he walked with us til he got to his house where he too was parking cars and I hugged him and Welcomed him home. He thanked me for my service. We went to the fair and got our free admission for veteran and active duty personnel with proper ID and off we went to meet Paul Jr and Laurie! We had a great day and then Paul and I walked back to our parking spot and the young man walked up to me who owned the house and stuffed a rolled up $5.00 bill in my hand and I said oh no you keep it - I appreciated the $5.00 discount and he said nope you keep it and thank you for serving! All in all it made me feel very special and I really really was honored by his gesture! What a great day we had!!!
