Sack Lunch



I put my carry-on
in the luggage compartment and sat down in my assigned seat. It was going to be
a long flight. 'I'm glad I have a good book to read. Perhaps I will get a short
nap,' I thought.
Just before take-off, a line of soldiers came down the aisle and filled all the
vacant seats, totally surrounding me. I decided to start a conversation.
'Where are you headed?' I asked the soldier seated nearest to me. 'Petawawa.
We'll be there for two weeks for special training, and then we're being deployed
to Afghanistan .'
After flying for about an hour, an announcement was made that sack lunches were
available for five dollars. It would be several hours before we reached the east,
and I quickly decided a lunch would help pass the time...
As I reached for my wallet, I overheard a soldier ask his buddy if he planned
to buy lunch. 'No, that seems like a lot of money for just a sack lunch. Probably
wouldn't be worth five bucks.. I'll wait till we get to base.'
His friend agreed.
I looked around at the other soldiers. None were buying lunch so I walked to
the back of the plane and handed the flight attendant a fifty dollar bill. 'Take
a lunch to all those soldiers.' She grabbed my arms and squeezed tightly. Her eyes
wet with tears; she thanked me.
'My son was a soldier in Iraq ; it's almost like you are doing it for him..'
Picking up ten sacks, she headed up the aisle to where the soldiers were seated.
She stopped at my seat and asked, 'Which do you like best - beef or chicken?'
'Chicken,' I replied, wondering why she asked. She turned and went to the front
of plane, returning a minute later with a dinner plate from first class.
'This is yours, thanks.'
After we finished eating, I went again to the back of the plane, heading for
the rest room.
A man stopped me. 'I saw what you did. I want to be part of it. Here, take this.'
He handed me twenty-five dollars.
Soon after I returned to my seat, I saw the Flight Captain coming down the aisle,
looking at the aisle numbers as he walked. I hoped he was not looking for me, but
noticed he was looking at the numbers only on my side of the plane. When he got
to my row he stopped, smiled, held out his hand and said, 'I want to shake your
hand.' Quickly unfastening my seatbelt I stood and took the Captain's hand. With
a booming voice he said, 'I was a soldier and I was a military pilot. Once, someone
bought me a lunch. It was an act of kindness I never forgot.' I was embarrassed
when applause was heard from all of the passengers.
Later I walked to the front of the plane so I could stretch my legs. A man who
was seated about six rows in front of me reached out his hand, wanting to shake
mine. He left another twenty-five dollars in my palm.
When we landed I gathered my belongings and started to deplane. Waiting
just inside the airplane door was a man who stopped me, put something in my shirt
pocket, turned, and walked away without saying a word. Another twenty-five dollars!
Upon entering the terminal, I saw the soldiers gathering for their trip to the
base.
I walked over to them and handed them seventy-five dollars. 'It will take you
some time to reach the base.. It will be about time for a sandwich. God Bless You.'
Ten young men left that flight feeling the love and respect of their fellow travelers.
As I walked briskly to my car, I whispered a prayer for their safe return. These
soldiers were giving their all for our country. I could only give them a couple
of meals. It seemed so little...
A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made
payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including
my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer
understand it. May God give you the strength and courage to pass this along
to everyone on your email buddy list....
Prayer chain for our Military... Don't break it!
Please send this on after a short prayer.. Prayer for our soldiers.. Don't break
it!
Prayer:
'Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us.
>Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time
of need. Amen.'
Prayer Request: When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer
for our troops around the world.
There is nothing attached. Just send this to people in your address book. Do
not let it stop with you. Of all the gifts you could give a Marine, Soldier, Sailor,
Airman, & others deployed in harm's way, prayer is the very best one.
GOD BLESS YOU FOR PASSING IT ON!

Go Charles Djou in winning the Hawaii Congressional seat!!! This is outstanding news. All the left wing spin that he will lose once the Dems unite behind one candidate in November again shows how little they understand what is going on in America.

I think it is very important for people to work within the GOP to nominate conservative candidates for office. It is equally important and perhaps more important for people to actually get out volunteer to work for those candidates in the primaries. Those candidates are generally not as well funded and may lack the organization they need to conduct an effective campaign. They need many volunteers to help with phone banks, precinct walks, campaign rallies, and other local events. That is where campaigns are won or lost.

Absolutely, Malcom. The GOP has ALWAYS been the party of fresh ideas and enthusiasm. Unlike the Democrats, we aren't stuck in 1934!

By the way, I just formed a new group, Tea Party Nation Supporters of Israel. Now more than ever, when President Obama's foreign policy betrays allies across all continents while he appeases enemies, it is important to tell our friends overseas that there are Americans who disapprove of those policies, Americans who cherish loyalty and shared values of heritage and freedom.

Here here to Utah Republicans for wiping the slate clean of incumbent Bill Bennett!

Comment by Gary Morgenstein on April 30, 2010 at 11:53am

Let's see how the President and his allies in the MSM press spin today's disappointing First Quarter GDP numbers. We dropped appreciably from 4Q '09. The spectre of soaring taxes next year might actually encourage more economic activity in 2010 as people want to protect their money against the government. Wait, isn't this our government?
What's interesting about TPN support for Rubio is it eviscerates the left-wing mantra that we are all white supermacists. Here there was enormous support for a young Cuban-American. The race card is their last refuge. What would've been the reaction if, instead of the President saying he wanted to fire up the support of Latinos and blacks and women in November, one of us said we hope that white guys turn out in the midterm elections? We'd be pilloried. And with good reason. But that's not what we're about. That's what the media doesn't understand about Americans, our innate decency and fairness. It's the liberal elite who are saddled by the prejudices and preconceived notions, not us!

Malcom, isn't it time to set an agenda for Tea Party members - we're pretty disconnected at this time. I would like to be a part of "Taking Back Our Country"
