We went to a little burger place on the lake in WI for Memorial Day and as we were eating a man (probably in his 80's) walked in with his veteran uniform on. He must have been a regular there because diners cheered for him by name.
This sparked a conversation abut why we celebrate Memorial Day and how we should be thankful to all of the men and women who serve our country. Ben walked right up to the man and shook his hand and said, "Thank you for serving out country." The man was so sweet and talked to Ben for a bit.
Charlie is a bit more shy, so he stayed back and asked his customary 100 questions.
Charlie: What is a veteran?
Dad: He fought for America, probably World War II. He might have fought in the army or the airforce like Grandpa Souder did.
Charlie: Oh, but why do they make the old people fight?
