One of the Marines had wrote “Semper Fi” across the top with an “Oorah!” at the bottom.

Lou, completely taken by surprise, went over to their table and put his arm around one of the guys, insisting they didn’t have to pay for his dinner. A simple “thank you” was enough.

“You don’t have to do this. I know, being in the military, you don’t make a lot of money,” Lou told them.

But the Marines stood firm.

“They wanted me to know how much they appreciated me,” Lou said.

As Lou and Annette were about to leave, something else happened that left all other guests in awe.

Knowing they were about to part ways, the young Marines wanted to give the veteran one last show of respect.

While the fifth man was off paying the bill, the other four walked up to Lou’s table and extended their hand to shake the veteran’s one last time, he recalled, admitting he tears up talking about it.
