While at Lowdermilk Park on Sunday, I had a brief conversation with a man I had never met.
He asked if I had been in the armed service. I told him I had been in the Navy.
I was deeply touched when he and his son shook my hand and thanked me for being a veteran.
In the afternoon, I went to Home Depot to buy some fencing. They gave me a 10 percent discount for being a veteran.
Maybe Memorial Day weekend isn’t all hot dogs, beer and big sales — at least to some.
