Subject: Re: 27 APR 18 by teebee on 2018/4/28 3:55:00 Is that you bringing your car home Brad? This evening we took dad to the American legion for, what we told him was something one of his great grands were doing. We fibbed to him to get him to go without telling him the real reason, which was, this American Legion, maybe others do this too, gives hand made quilts to selected vets, and dad was chosen as one for this month. The lady got up and started giving a little background about the vet, and at the end, she says "Does this sound like someone here?" And I leaned over and said to dad, "That sounds like you." And just about that time, she announces his name and he's so surprised and a bit taken back, but a huge grin appears on his face as he goes up to the front to receive his quilt. The moment is priceless. Everyone in the place is applauding him and congratulating him and thanking him for his service as he goes up and has his picture taken with the lady that made the quilt and then with all the family that is there. He was still grinning from ear to ear when we left. Beautiful quilt too. |
