So, we were trying to sell our old desktop computer on craigslist, expecting we'd make about 30-40 bucks for it, seeing as laptops are the big sellers now....... I got an email inquring about the sale 20 mins after I posted it, suspicious I thought well ok i'll give this guy an answer..... the conversation went like this........
Guy: would u donate pc...... my brother is returning from iraq and is parylized would like to get sumthing for him
Me: Absolutely, My husband is an Iraq veteran too. you can come get it asap.
do you mind me asking what happened to your brother?
Guy:He was shot...........he also saved the pows when war first started.......Ive met my brother 1 time before he went to war and cant wait to get to know him even more
Me: wow, I'm so proud of our troops!
Guy:
if i can come get as soon as possible be great and appreciated and i thank u from the bottom of my herart for this......

Me: heres my number call me when your on you way.
10 mins later he showed up, and told us the whole story, I was still kind of skeptical about it, but if his was telling the truth and not just trying to get a free computer...... It was a really kind gesture for his brother who he barely knows, and we feel that bitter sweet feeling of helping a fellow troop.
