Meeting Super Soldiers

I've spent the previous three months working with airmen at Air Force bases. Now I'm living and working with soldiers. Not just any soldiers. These are what the public usually thinks of super soldiers. So, I was lost. Driving around trying to find the unit where I was to give a presentation. Finally I pulled over, stopped the car as I saw a passing soldier. Turned out he was a Special Forces Private First Class. When I got out of the car, he stopped immediately, smiled and gave that look, you know, that says, "how can I help you." And he did. Pointing me directly to where I was to go and meeting me along the way. I gave him the credit and thanked him. This was Special Forces, ya'll. The super soldier who turned out to be just a regular guy; friendly as all get out; and willing to help a lost soul. How great is that? You should be proud of our folks in uniform, serving you and our country. Dr. D.
