Life Changing Moment for a Veteran from the Vietnam War!


Hey everyone! I want to share with you about an interaction I had today with a member. This morning, a member came into our branch wanting to withdrawal money from his account. I noticed the U.S. Navy hat he was wearing and asked him if he served in the military. He responded "yes" and told me about his service in Vietnam. I saw his face light up with happiness when talking to him about Vietnam. Before he left, I remembered a co-worker gave me some stars that were cut from "retired" flown American flags. I pulled one out from my cash drawer and gave it to him. He had the biggest smile on his face! I thanked him for his service at the end of the transaction. I noticed how happy I made him when he left. I thought to myself about what a difference I made in his life today, even though the conversation started with a simple question about the hat he was wearing. So, if you happen to help someone who served in the military, I challenge you to have a conversation with them about it. Don't forget to thank our veterans and the ones who are currently serving for our country!
