Today when I enter places like Disney, SOG, and Mission, I am actually treated like a human, not the scum of the earth I endured for more than 40 years. We no longer Hide because of these businesses. However some still find us not fit to be called a veteran, and will LYK personally.

You think it as pandering, some think of it as being excepted.

As far as First responders, any business that recognizes their service, by thanking them, it’s always greatly appreciated, and earned. After all like my family they couldn’t and would not hide in their house when times aren’t safe.

Service 68-72 never treated badly when returning after 2 deployments, actually military service gave me a preference in hiring on discharge…
