Nice young man, away from home for the first time. Very polite he was, sweet mannered. And hungry, all late teens and early 20s are always hungry. After raising teenagers that much I knew. That was little enough to give him, considering what he might have to give for us.
This made my nose sting and my eyes water. How precious of you to bless that young man. Was he headed to Killeen? Not the nicest/prettiest base in the country.
