The US Marine looked down when something tugged at his sleeve. It was a young boy, maybe 8 or 9 years old. The Marine immediately went down on his haunches to look the boy in the eyes. The youngster had nothing to say. With big eyes and a lot of uncertainty in his whole demeanor, he slipped a note into the Marine’s hand. Then he turned around and ran back in the direction he came from. Perplexed, the Marine unfolded the note and read it. The words on the slip of paper rang like alarm bells in his head. He rose to his feet in a flash, dug his cell phone from his pocket, and dialed a number. He had to get back up, and get it now!
Thank you for watching.
