Thank you for your sacrifice & service. Your story makes you who you are now. You might be surprised by how many might like to know more about you. I understand your frustration but there could be other reasons behind their display. What if they are a veteran who is suffering since he/she has returned to civilian life? If so, not feeling alone may help them feel a little bit better.

I’m not a veteran but I wasn’t nearly as proud of my alma mater while I was a student. I wasn’t proud until it was behind me, long after I had graduated. Maybe it’s similar?
