A Veteran’s Day story

A large crowd of people with raised hands faces a brightly lit stage, suggesting excitement and enthusiasm at a concert or live event. The scene is energetic and the audience is blurred in the background.

Last night at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, MO, five minutes into the hockey game between the St. Louis Blues and Calgary Flames, the P.A. announcer asked all veterans in the crowd to stand.

Hundreds rose. Those still seated cheered.

To my right, five seats down, stood a man, still as a statue, as if at attention for a military review.

Next to him sat his wife and their daughter.

As the applause rolled over him, as the cheers grew louder, he remained at attention, jaw set tight, eyes staring straight ahead.

But then, just for a second, his cheek quivered, and he turned his eyes toward his wife and daughter.

A tear rolled down his cheek. His jaw loosened. And he smiled.

Cheers to the veterans…
