When the movie ended, we walked out to the parking lot and got in the Jeep, started it up and I was ready to back out of the parking spot when I noticed a paper on the windshield, under the wiper blades. I suspect my first thoughts were the same as the ones you might expect -- someone hit the car and left a "fake note," someone was being a wise guy and pranking me, or someone left a note for a person who drove a Jeep like mine. So I got out and pulled it our from under the blade. I couldn't wait to see what this was (you got the sarcasm there, didn't you?).

One can pay back a debt of gold, but most men go to their graves forever in debt to those who gave them their freedoms.

Great story! I've never had a note left on my windshield but, because of my Vietnam Veterans license plates, I've had a number of drivers honk their horn to get my attention and then toss a salute my way. It always gives me a good feeling to be recognized and to know someone appreciates that I actually did something worthwhile in my younger years!
That is great!!! Years ago as my wife and I were leaving escorting our youngest daughter and her boy to the back exit so they could get on a shuttle to their car. After they left and we were walking away a young lady, standing by her boy friend said something and I didn't hear her but asked what she said and she also thanked me for my service in Vietnam as I had my Legion Cap on my belt with a Vietnam pin on it. I really couldn't talk because that was the first time anyone ever thank me. What a difference from being spit on in California at the airport when I got home. So neat!!!
