It is three in the morning on a cold Tuesday night and this American soldier is looking right at you.
He is standing in the dark during a quiet moment of his deployment. The last thing he ate that was actually warm was a cup of soup several hours ago. The wind is biting, and he is just waiting.
He has his phone out. He is holding the screen up to catch one bar of signal in the dark. It is just enough to get this short video through.
Play the video again. Look at his face just before he asks for the follow. You can see the slight hesitation. He is putting himself out there, asking for a simple connection.
Our troops do not ask for much. He knows you probably scrolled past a dozen other videos tonight. But he says a simple hello would honestly make their week.
