I wish everyone was this kind and respectful of one another. Those five young marines were raised right.
Excerpts:
As Lou and his wife were eating, one of the men approached their table. Lou automatically stood up, noting that he and his friends looked like servicemen due to their haircuts.
He wasn’t sure what was going to happen, but then the young man extended his hand for a handshake and profusely thanked Lou for his service to the country.
But that wasn’t all – the other four men came over to continue thanking him.
They were all Marines and wanted to make that night one that Lou would never forget.
They called for the check, and that’s when the waiter told them that the bill had already been paid for by the young Marines.
On the receipt were the messages “Semper Fi” and “Oorah”.
