They seemed a bit shy and out of place, and when we started speaking to them, we discovered that the man was a soldier on leave from Iraq. The worry on the woman&#8217;s face was palpable. I regret that I did not thank the both of them and make them feel welcome and comfortable. I regret that I did not express to him that I was happy to see him back home and well, and that I wished him safe return and safe completion of his mission. I hope he receives more respect and gratitude from people than he did from me on that morning.<\/p>\n<p>Submitted by: Brad White<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I stayed at a bed and breakfast a few weeks back and one morning a young couple sat down at the breakfast table next to my friend and I.
