Texas first grader goes viral for saluting military at San Antonio airport

A picture of a Texas first-grader saluting military members at San Antonio International Airport has gone viral.

Fox San Antonio posted the photo of Jace Vega, 6, on its Facebook page over the weekend. The image had gotten nearly 2,500 "likes" and been shared close to 1,500 times as of yesterday afternoon.

When asked why he gave the salute, the little boy answered: "Because they fight for our country."

Jace's father, Joe Vega, told Fox San Antonio that his family met him at the airport as he returned from a trip to Colorado Springs. It was there that Jace saw the military members and stopped to salute them. You can hear from the Vegas HERE.
