I'm writing this post in the spirit of the 4th.
I had a customer yesterday, very humble, and outgoing, and as I learned later he was 74 years of age. After finishing the job it was time to get to know each other. I don't take lightly what I've learned about this gentleman. He told me his personal story. After high school, he enrolled in College and was on the gymnastics team. He hurt his back and was forced to quit the team. Then Vietnam War started and he was drafted. He completed three tours with Air Force. As a result of Agent Orange use in 'Nam, he suffered prostate cancer, had four heart attacks a has nine stents in his arteries. On top of that, in March of last year, his Jeep was T- boned at 60mph. Car was completely totaled, but Tony was able to exit through the driver's door, the only piece of metal that wasn't destroyed by the impact.
What a true survivor story. After all that, he doesn't complain and considers himself an ordinary man.
I'd say he's a hero.

On the second go around, I was 346. After that, the war was over, and I was too old.
