After the honoring of him outside, we went inside the office. He sat down and talked about the good things in his life as well as the bad things. It was a sobering experience listening to Purdue talk. I could see and hear the pain when he talked about how military service had affected him, but then I could easily see the smile and happiness inside of the man as well. I just stood back and let MSgt Purdue and Hampton Wilkins talk. It was amazing, folks.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.imgur.com\/COuyHbC.jpg?resize=640%2C480\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.imgur.com\/Oo7Du8n.jpg?resize=640%2C480\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Hampton Wilkins did his best to not make any part of today&#8217;s activities about him or his company but I&#8217;m not going to let him get away with that.
