Larry Morelock: Thanks for breakfast and supporting two veterans

A friend and myself were having breakfast at Country Waffle in Merced on Jan. 9, talking about our years in the Air Force as KC-135 tanker pilots. Apparently, the folks in the booth next to us overheard our conversation (old guys talk a little louder). They anonymously paid for our breakfast. I’d like to thank them, whomever they were. It was our pleasure to serve and it was a pleasure that morning to be recognized. Thanks so much.

Larry Morelock, Merced
