Iraq veteran and Caps fan, Jeffrey Buchalter, shares Purple Heart with Iraqi man at Dulles Airport
Plain black letters on white poster board. “This veteran stands with you,” the sign read.
On Friday afternoon, President Trump signed an executive order that immediately suspended admission into the United States by citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries. The so-called Muslim ban set off unplanned protests in cities and airports across the country.
Taken overall, the protests and demonstrations have been inspirational. But they’ve also contained little stories, tiny moments of grace, that will knock you off your feet. My favorite of these stories features a Capitals fan.
