With all of the traveling that I have done lately, one thing really comes to mind—all of the thank yous I have gotten from people along the way. On my way home, while I was passing through different airports, quite a few people came up to me and said: “we just want to thank you for your service”. Every time I hear that, I feel truly grateful and humble.
A few people were extremely generous. On my flight to Pensacola, one very nice lady gave me her first class seat. I tried to say no, but she was very insistent. On the way back from Pensacola, another lady thanked me and gave me an angel medal and a picture that her kids drew for me. I really am so touched. (The peace symbols really brought out the hippie in me.) I’m just doing my job over here, but doing it for such wonderful people makes the sacrifices so much easier.
Since I spent so much time waiting in airports, I had quite a few conversations with folks about how things are going over here. Over the next few weeks, I will try to give my best answers here to some of the questions that people asked me—like what does peanut butter have to do with weapons of mass destructions?
