major major

Working my neighborhood today I met an 87 year old veteran. He was struggling to hold onto his walker and at the same time move his garbage can to the curb. I asked if he needed help and walked over to him. After I moved the garbage into place we started talking. He told me about his time in the service. In the Army he fought in World War II, Korea and Vietnam and was shot eight times. He told me that people used to call him a badass. As part of the Special Forces he commanded 1800 soldiers and retired from the Army as a Major. He said he was proud to do it and believed strongly that in life you just have to go for it and word hard.
