I wanted to agree that this was a great thread.

While I have always tried to act as an officer and gentleman, I can not claim anything I would say was out of the ordinary. Yet I still marvel at the nicest thing that has happened to me. On my way to the baton rouge airport as a college student traveling to Ft. Benning Ga. for airborne school, my car broke down on the interstate. As I was running late I thought that I would be ******* over. It was poring down raining. I was surprised by a car stopping almost immediately. A lady asked if she could help me. I asked to go to a gas station to call friends/taxi. When I made my calls I discovered I would never make my plane, as I thanked her she asked if I was going to make it. I said no and she offered to drive me to my car, get my luggage and then drive me to the airport. I am still surprised 14 years later. I guess luck was with me the flight was delayed 45 minutes do to the bad weather. I also sent her flowers at the hospital she worked at. I also told her that I hoped she did not make a habit out of picking up strangers on the interstate.

I doubt that I will ever catch up to the acts of kindness that I have received, no matter how hard I try.
