Squeaky 135 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Precious story! I am the son and grandson of veterans, and I always look for vets at restaurants despite being an obamacare part-time victim. This kid has more of a "clue" than obama ever will. - Dustin Faulkner proud Texan 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maxwelhse 1,285 Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 The story is amazing, but am I the only guy thinking the kid should have left the found money at the counter for the rightful owner to claim? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

XD45 7,124 Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Army Sgt. Andy Eckert was killed in Iraq, just five weeks after Myles was born. All the kid has ever had are pictures and dog tags, other people's memories and his own imagination. "I imagine him as a really nice person and somebody that would be really fun," Myles says. That's when I had to stop for a minute until my vision cleared. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dad2142Dad 6,559 Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 The story is amazing, but am I the only guy thinking the kid should have left the found money at the counter for the rightful owner to claim? That is actually a very good point. Because the person behind the counter would have just kept for themselves, robbing us of a great story Quote Link to post Share on other sites
6500rpm 670 Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 8yr old Myles Eckert did a great thing in memory of a father he'll never know, one who gave all. Lets not take that from him. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
