One Of My Fondest Memories

Reprising A story I wrote back on May 29th, 2015

*****

I want to thank the

Marines

and

Stater Brothers

today.

You might be wondering why I would want to thank the
U.S. Military
and
Stater Brothers Groceries.
It's because of what just happened to me

and one of my grandsons who is here celebrating
Memorial Day

with me.
You see,

my grandson
and I were jumping on the trampoline in my backyard when we saw two
Marine Gunship Helicopters
flying over the mountain ridge.
I am not a good judge of distances,
when it comes to airplanes,
or helicopters in the sky,
but they had to be close enough overhead to see us on the ground.
I told my grandson to wave to them,
because it is
Memorial Day,
the day to celebrate our
Military Heroes.
He waved vigorously,
like a five year old will do.
Lo & behold,
those
Marine Helicopters
turned around,
and flew directly over our house,
doing a complete circle,
before heading back in the same direction as before.
Of course,
when they were overhead,
I was so proud,
that I started waving just as vigorously as my grandson.
Thank you
Twenty-Nine Palms & Camp Pendleton Marines Corp
for once again being true
American Heroes.

Now,
  about three
or four weeks ago,
just before the new
Avengers
movie came out,
Pepsi
set up a display at
Stater Brother's Supermarket
featuring cardboard cutouts of
Iron Man,
Thor,
Captain America,
and my favorite,
The Hulk.
I immediately went to customer service
and asked if I could have the display after the promotion was over.
The
Assistant Manager
agreed,
taking my name
and phone number.
Last
Tuesday
I got the call to pick up my
Super Heroes.
It was a
Super Cool
gift for my grandson.
This week has really been a treat for this grandson
and myself.

Thank you
Stater Brothers
and the
U.S. Marines Corp.
