DAYUM!!! Who moved the ashtray over to where the smoke got in my eyes?
What an AWESOME, heart warming story! (Talk about shivers going down my back!) Thanks for passing that on, Beeyul! Chuck (That is the smoke from the ashtray, that has my eyes all red and watery!! HONEST!!) (Don't be looking at my crossed fingers!) |

Thanks Bill. They had a CMH society get together in Chicago this year, the same time as the Clusterbusters conference. A lot of men who really hung it out there for someone else. God bless them!

What an honor to be able to share your plane ride with him, and kudos to the couple who gave up their first class seats to him, they should be commended.
Thanks for sharing.... Diane |

Gave me chills; told Clark about it and he even teared up - shhhhhhh don't tell him I told ya.
I didn't even get to name him, Clark immediately said, Medal of Honor recipient right? Sheesh, see what I get for telling him a story like yours right after he's spent months studying his promotion fitness exam books. That is an amazing event, I wish I could have been there. How heart warming that so many were willing to give him his due tribute. Cat |

Sheeeeeet Beeeyul....that made me tear up....thank you for a gratifying, wonderful, uplifting recount of an oh so important experience. You are a lucky man....
Your story reafirms my respect and regard for the American people...a nation who forgets the reason we are free is destitute, and we are far from that, after some shaky times. We owe so much to so few... A small story from my own experience...I shop for my belts in a military surplus store...no particular reason other than I like the canvas and brass buckle. Have lost count of the times I have heard "thanks for your service marine"...it used to puzzle me as I had no idea what they were talking about! Apparently, I am wearing a Marine Corp belt. Eventually, I figured it out... I never have and never will pretend to be something I'm not...that is, a vet (never had the privledge or honor)...but the reaction from those who thought I was has been extremely gratifying...folks just get it! I ALWAYS correct them...and ALWAYS affirm how much I appreciate the honor bestowed on someone they thought was a vet...and ALWAYS remind them it is a good thing they do...NEVER FORGET! Best, Jon |

First I would like to say hi Bill We met in Chicago it was my first CB conference Thanks for all your help and sage advice.
I too had the pleasure of meeting all of the Medal winners. I was at a biz meeting at the Swiss Hotel the day before the conference. The Medal winners were at the hotel for a Lunch. I had the opportunity to speak with many of them. Great and interesting people with many stories to tell. |

That is a great story Bill. I tis good to hear something like that now. It seems to me that the American Public is more and more uncaring and this proves that there are good people in this world still.
Blessed Be, Tia |
