My son is serving in the US Coast Guard and is one of the few of the Coast Guard that was deployed to the Middle East. He is coming home today after a year in the Gulf Region. His ship was the one that saved these Iranian fishermen. My son was on watch and initially saw the flares of the sinking boat.
He called me today and said that last night, while waiting for a connecting flight to Virginia for a post Gulf physical, he was enjoying a beer at the airport with a bunch of other coasties. He said some guy wanted to buy the group a drink, and ended up buying them drinks and dinner. My son said it was Joe Jonas of teen rock fame. Funny thing is, my kid had never heard of him. I did some checking and found this on his twitter... I would link that, but couldn't get it to work...Got the honor of buying drinks and food for a few of our military at the airport.. A blessing to hear there stories.. Thank you to all who serve.
