Image via WikipediaAfter eating and back on to the concourse I ran into a large contingent of Army troops, waiting for their plane. Their unit patches were familiar to me, 82nd, 1st Cav, and 10th Mountain among others. I had a chance to talk with a couple of soldiers from the 10th, two staff sergeants, one male the other female. Everybody in their group was headed back to Afghanistan. I wouldn't say the mood was somber, let's just say quiet. When I broached the topic of food, their eyes lit up...I thought I might give them a hot tip about my favorite when they pointed across the food court to...yep, you guessed it, The Golden Arches. They wanted one more shot at a Big Mac and fries...and who could blame them. So I thanked them for their service and wished them bon apetit, good luck and God's blessings...suddenly the inconvenience of my travel schedule didn't amount to much, I was going home to Weatherby Lake.
