Awesome Senior Moment

Awesome Senior Moment 

There were protesters on the train platform handing out pamphlets on the evils of America. I politely declined to take one.

 


An elderly woman was behind me getting off the escalator and a young (20-ish) female protester offered her a pamphlet, which she politely declined.

The young protester put her hand on the old woman's shoulder as a gesture of friendship and in a very soft voice said, 'Lady, don't you care about the children of Iraq ?' 

The old woman looked up at her and said, 'Honey, my father died in France during World War II, I lost my husband in Korea , and a son in Vietnam   All three died so you could have the right to stand here and bad mouth our country. If you touch me again, I'll stick this umbrella up your ass and open it!'

The elderly lady in this story has the right idea! You dont see those countries or any other giving a flying leap about our troops getting blown to bits! And we are supposed to care? Ther elderly lady had the right idea. I would give her a ride home anytime!
