This news story, widely reported on Veteran's day, made my day

Milwaukee, WI: Muggers See Army ID, Return Wallet

Would-be Robber Gives Soldier Fist Bump, Thanks Him For Service

Kyle Windorski, a 21-year-old college student in the Army Reserve, was walking home Tuesday morning on the east side of Milwaukee when four men with stocking caps over their faces forced him into an alley at gunpoint and demanded cash ... The muggers then turned their attention to Mr. Windorski’s various identification cards: a driver’s license, a University of Wisconsin student card and a military ID.

“We’ve got to give this stuff back,” the ringleader snapped. “This guy’s military!”


Anyway, it doesn't mean much, but after the recent tragedy at Fort Hood, it's nice that someone's military service got them a break.
