My husband and I were both in the military at the time. I was walking out of the Post Office with my older daughter, approx 2, and some tall guy in a uniform (like her daddy's) was walking up. She got all excited, ran up to him and said "Look, Daddy's here to meet us." He was so nice and said, "I'm somebody's daddy but not yours." She looked up and started bawling loudly. I could not fix the problem and she was still upset when her daddy got home from work that night. She never did that with a woman in uniform but did it twice to 2 different men in uniform.
