Similar story, while working the concessions stand at my son's school basket ball game a couple of years ago. I met an older gentleman, who was the grandfather of one of my son's classmates and raising his granddaughter. We got to talking and he mentioned he was also an Air Force vet and Thud driver. I later learned he earned one of theses...
Great guy, you'd never know he was a real life patch wearing Thud Driver. He was very humble and just said that he was "just doing his job". Although I do think since he knew I am a 24 year AF vet & I understood what it took to earn that patch, he appreciated the thanks I offered him.
