Thank God for Soldiers -- and Janitors too!

I saw this story online this morning and thought it was pretty neat.

Figured you'd all enjoy reading it.

Side note:
My mother was a teacher for 40+ years and she always treated the janitors as important members of the school staff. While other "more educated" teachers would look down on "someone who pushed a broom for a living"... My mother knew & remembered their birthdays, knew all their kids and wives names, and treated them like the great people they were. Guess who had the cleanest rooms in the school?!

You catch a lot more flies with honey than with vinegar.

Reminds me of another shy, quiet janitor I encountered while a student at the University of Oregon. But Ray DeAutremont was a public figure for entirely different reasons.

That story is a perfect example of why we should treat everyone with respect, regardless of what we think their position in life is. Whether a janitor won the Medal of Honor or not, they deserve the same respect anyone does! Great story #7!

"I was a stranger and you did not take me in, I was naked and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not visit me."

"Then they also will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or In prison and not serve you?' "

"He will answer, 'Truly I say to you, as you did it not for the least of these, you did it not for me.' "

Matthew 25:43-45

Sure is a welcome kick in the gut, to bring one back to reality of just how special that silent generation was...
