***This is from an E-Mail that was forwarded to me.**
...I was in the Airport in Atlanta. I watched, as 30 to 40 Marines calmly walked by. The people around, stopped and applauded. And the Soldiers quietly acknowledged the gesture.
...I little girl, steps out from her Mother. And approaches a young Marine. He stops and kneels to hear her question.
"Will you give this to my Daddy?" she politely asked.
The Soldier pauses long enough, to have the young 7 Year-old, reach up and give him the biggest hug possible.
... The crowd, around me, was left in stunned silence. The mother of Little Courtney, approached the Marine as he rose to his feet. She then tells the Marine that her husband had been in Iraq for 11 Months. And that her Daughter was missing him very badly.
...As the Soldier stepped away, he grabbed his Radio, and began talking to someone on the other end. But then paused, and walked back to where Courtney and her mother stood.
