My story happened about 8-9 years ago in the beginning stages of "Operation Enduring Freedom", in the Atlanta airport on my way back to Europe after spending the holidays with family. My family and I were walking down the hallway, when, 2 soldiers crossed my path and saluted me as if I was their superior in rank. I can only guess, that, the reason why they did it was because I was staring at them with "sparkly" eyes since I've always loved the Military and dreamed to have my own Military career one day. Every day since, I try to remember their faces in hoping, that, one day, I'll be able to ask them: why?
