And when has that ever happened? In real life, not in your head.

There is always one in the crowd. This thread was not about the military, not about schools. It was about the joy of a little girl... just look at her face. Why does there always have to be that one in every crowd?

As am I. I am absolutely shocked the school officials allowed him to even set foot on school property in uniform ... the combat uniform no less.
