I don't know if this is true or not......

.....but I can certainly imagining it happening in one form or another.
"One of my sons serves in the military. He is still stateside, here in
California . He called me yesterday to let me know how warm and
welcoming people were to him and his troops everywhere he goes, telling
me how people shake their hands and thank them for being willing to
serve and fight for not only our own freedoms, but so that others may
have them also.
But he also told me about an incident in the grocery store he stopped at
yesterday on his way home from the base. He said that ahead of several
people in front of him stood a woman dressed in a burkha.
He said when she got to the cashier she loudly remarked about the U.S.
flag lapel pin the cashier wore on her smock. The cashier reached up and
touched the pin, and said proudly, 'Yes, I always wear it and probably
always will.'
The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going to
stop bombing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi.
A gentleman standing behind my son stepped forward. Putting his arm
around my son's shoulders and nodding towards my son, he said in a calm
and gentle voice to the Iraqi woman: 'Lady, hundreds of thousands of men
and women like this young man have fought and died so that YOU could
stand here, in MY country and accuse a check-out cashier of bombing YOUR
countrymen. It is my belief that had you been this outspoken in YOUR own
country, we wouldn't need to be there today. But, hey, if you have now
learned how to speak out so loudly and clearly, I'll gladly buy you a
ticket and pay your way back to Iraq so you can straighten out the mess
in YOUR country that you are obviously here in MY country to avoid. "
