Met a Vietnam era Green Beret last night.

I was at a airport last night and saw this older gentleman wearing a Vietnam veteran's hat and several other items on the hat. I noticed beneath his veteran's jacket he had a airborne Mike team shirt. I approached him and asked him about it. He lit up like a lamp as I told him how much I appreciated him and his service. He went on to say he served as a Green Beret alone for six years. He said he did several missions being part of a Mike team. He was a very humble man and the flight crew mentioned how quiet and pleasant he was. He shook my hand and lightly embraced me. It made my day as I know my interest in him made his day. I never asked him his name. Just thought I would share.
