So I proceed to the gas station to full up and strike a conversation with a gentleman doing the same. He asked me why I was in a coat and tie and I explained what the American Legion Post #9 was going and my service to the community. I see him get into his truck and than he turns around and thanks the Legion and myself for the things we do and hands me a check for $500. People never cease to amaze me.
Thank you, Eddie
I know I speak for all of us here.
