last spring, I had a 2+ hour layover in seatac airport, sitting at the bar waiting for my flight, I saw 5 soldiers in BDU's outside the rather crowded bar with that "I could use a beer" look on them and there wasn't an empty barstool to be found.
I stood up, and said to the other customers near me, "hey guys can we get on our feet and let these soldiers have a seat and a drink?
in an instant about a dozen folks stood as one and the soldiers were invited in to sit
I bought the first round for them and shook each of their hands and thanked them for their service, then went on to my connecting flight
