Re: Veterans Day Offers/Freebies For Military, Firefighters & Police Officers

Being a peace time vet I never go to any of the freebies I have always thought those should be for combat vets. I know a lot of vets will argue with me even had a Major tell me to my face that I served and deserve it also but never felt that way.

Thank you to all the COMBAT veterans for putting yourselves in harms way for the rest of us. And thank you for the peace time vets who sat and served waiting for the call that never came for you.

Re: Veterans Day Offers/Freebies For Military, Firefighters & Police Officers

As a Veteran, I am thankful for the showing of gratitude by these fine businesses.
However, I'm saddened to think of how America has treated it's Veterans in the past;
Viet Nam era sentiments of that time are a shame to contemplate. Thank goodness America has become more aware of the sacrifices that Veterans AND First Responders willingly endure every day.
I salute all! :icon_salut:

Best,
Scott
