inadvertently met a Medal of Honor Recipient
I just wanted to get this off of my chest.
I work near* Walter Reed AMC, and walking behind a building one day, taking a short cut to my destination, I walk past a Colonel smoking a cigarette. I give him the greeting of the day, and he asks me where I come from. I explain my roots and we have about ten minutes of dialogue and I am on my way, thinking that he is a really great individual.
Today, I was informed that man is the only Medal of Honor recipient still on active duty. I am in awe, I really am, what a Patriot!
Next time I see him(if I do), I will thank him.
