Jake visits his wife’s grave site, sometimes twice a day, to make sure it always looks immaculate. One time his son went with him, and the son noticed him talk to another mourner who was crying uncontrollably…
As he went over to see if she was OK, Jake learned why she was there.
“Her husband had been an SSGT in the US Air Force and lost him in 2010,” Roger writes. “After they talked and shared stories, she thanked him and left.”
Seemingly inspired by the woman’s story, Jake added to his daily routine.
Now, he not only makes sure his wife’s resting spot looks the best, but also the plot of the fallen soldier.
