funkelly: Gets me every time. God bless ‘em all. goodbyefuturehellopast: Pearl Harbor survivor Houston James of Dallas is overcome with emotion as he embraces Marine Staff Sgt. Mark Graunke Jr. during the Dallas Veterans Day Commemoration at Dallas City Hall. Sgt Graunke, who was a member of a Marine ordinance-disposal team, lost a hand, leg, and eye while defusing a bomb in Iraq. (Jim Mahoney/Dallas Morning News) Thank them. Thank them every chance you get, even if you’re just passing them on the street and they have no idea who you are. While you’re at it, be nice. Take every chance you get to be a better person. They sacrifice so much for this country, the least we could do is act like a country of people who deserve it. Let people go first, open doors, tip well, be aware of those around you and don’t ever, ever, assume that you know someone’s motivations for doing anything. Just try to find the joy in each day, and if you find it, share it with as many people as possible. Even if that joy is a Tumblr post of an adorable pug. Share the love.
