Romanians and Bulgarians

On 21 August we took Tim Horton's coffee, doughnuts and muffins to the Romanian and Bulgarian compound. We had decided to do a Unit Appreciation Event for them when we found that the Romanian military was experiencing a 25% pay cut. Owen said the colonel had tears in his eyes when we explained our purpose.

Our hosts were somewhat guarded when we arrived, and it took them a little while to loosen up; but once they were more comfortable their warmth, humor and charm poured forth. It was one of the nicest and most rewarding events we've had. I love my job.
