Small World

Today I meet a man who had just gotten out of the Army after 6.5 years of service. We got to talking, and I mentioned Tim, who's in Ranger School, and then the guy presented his own Ranger Coin (which I accidentally dropped--I am an asshole!). He asked if Tim was up here at Ft. Lewis, and I said no, Benning, and he said, oh, 3rd bat, he should transfer. Which I would love love love. Anyways, I helped him out, and he eventually bought a membership, and then he thanked me and handed me a piece of paper money: an Iraqi dinar! I was totally amazed. A little souvenier, he said. I'll say. Totally awesome.
