A time the American spirit shined through...
Just recently, I drove an elderly man to Princeton University in New Jersey for a memorial service. Before we left his driveway, he asked his wife—who was not joining us—for his Navy hat to replace his Princeton hat with the “P” emblem. My job is not only to drive and drop off, but also to escort if needed. As we walked, at a snail’s pace, through the rest stop, multiple people looked at this man and thanked him for his service—a genuine “thank you.” This man was an Admiral in the Navy for 35 years.
