So I am driving to the office today when I see a guy hitchiking on the side of the road....not something you see alot of anymore in L.A....As I pass with every intention of not picking him up, I notice he is the guy that works the local Liquor Store/ Deli in my hood....
He has always seemed like a regular Joe and even talks Martial Arts with me from time to time when I pop in for a Gatoraid...What the hell...and for the 1st time in my life I pull over and pick up a hitcher...Guys seems a little down on his luck and doesn't even have a car....
We start talking and he mentions that he can't get a drivers license in the state of California...uhh ohh...I think here comes the story....drinking...drugs....killed the last 3 guys that picked him up and made dresses from their hides...
Well I bite..and ask why not...?....to which he replied that he is blind in his left eye and suffers from siezures....Okey Dokey....I bite some more....and ask were you born like this...?
No he says.....I was a young naval officer (special forces) and when the barracks got blown to hell in Beruit he was called in to be part of a sniper team that was to cover the area while Marines were busy pulling their own out of the rubble...and while doing this he got shot in the head by a 14 year old kid on an opposing roof....As my jaw fell into my lap he removed the hat that he always wears to reveal an amazing series of scars....
So my friends...practice random acts of kindness...you never know when you will be helping out a hero....
Needless to say he will never get passed up on the street by me....
