As I bent down to hear what she had to say she put her frail hand on my face and said, &quot;Thank you for what you do for my country.&quot; She was 98 years old. To think of everything that this lady had seen in her lifetime was incredible and a tremendous honor to hear her say that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
