We went to O'Charley's for supper tonight. There was an elderly couple that was sitting beside us. They watched us all during our supper. Greg was in his uniform since we had just come from work. When the couple got up they came over to the table to thank Greg for his service. The gentleman was a WWII vet, 86 years old. He had served with Gen. Patton. He was a gunner in a tank. He was also wounded in France. While we were talking with them he mentioned that he was at the inaugral of the USS Ronald Reagan. They then told us that he was a cousin of President Reagan's. Their mothers were sisters. I thought that was so neat. As a kid I admired President Reagan. To meet his cousin was special.
His wife was telling me that they have I believe grandchildren that are trying to adopt from the Ukranine. They have been in the process for two years. They told us that they admire us for adopting Hannah and Ethan. They gave us a business card with their names and email address and told us to stay in touch. they were a very sweet couple.
