My how times have changed. How long ago were we all saying that serving in the military was just a partial payback for living in the USA... an honor to serve and the least we could do. So we went, did our best, and most of us came home to resume our lives.
A number of years passed and along with the rest of the country a lot of veterans have joined the gimme bunch. Suddenly the guy who spent 2 years moaning and bitching at Ft. Dix thinks he was Audie Murphy and George Patton rolled into one... and should be honored accordingly. Fifty years later they feel they deserve a 10% discount on a lawn mower!
I think Lowe's is quite generous. But... to keep things "fair" perhaps Lowe's should stop the discount altogether. (that last sentence is sarcasm in case anyone is confused).
