Dear Editor:
On Friday, Feb. 3, 2017, I invited, and had the pleasure of taking one of my best friends, and his Marine son, Austin Phillips, (age 17 / Delayed Entry Program), to breakfast at Vizunz's. Upon my arrival, I was early. When they arrived and Austin walked in with his "Blues on Uniform," I was so proud and speechless. He looked like he should be on a Marine billboard.
Austin just graduated from Paris Island, and is home for a short visit. As we ordered our breakfast and waited, so many people in the restaurant came over to Austin to thank him for serving the United States of America. His father and I were so proud of him and the customers. Austin did sign the Marine flag, and hung his picture up on the Veteran Wall.
As we finished eating, I then asked our waitress for the guest check, and she replied that the customers had already taken care of it. This was not necessary, but very appreciated. Also, all of the kind words that were given to Austin by the staff and the customers were greatly appreciated.
