Waiting in the car for what felt like forever, Mary texted me that she was in the Walmart check out line but it would be awhile before she checked out with our groceries. I decided to go back into the store.
In the restaurant area, I spotted an elderly white gentleman wearing a World War II veteran cap. I approached and thanked him for his service to our country. He said thank you very much. I shared that my dad who recently passed away at age 90 was one of the first blacks to serve in the Merchant Marines.
