They also donate a lot of money to local Veterans organizations. There are plenty of sleazy groups that try to exploit Veterans, but I agree with you that Mission BBQ isn’t one of them.

Don't worry the B.A.R. (BRITISH ACEDITED REGISTRY London control) will be dissolves soon. No more maritine law. Return to common law (1776).The state of Oregon removed the requirement of graduated law students to take the bar exam (Nov 23).Who will be next.

“Winning” all come from us ratepayers causing higher insurance costs.
 
All of his billions come from us.

Inappropriate
 
He’s made a business decision to attract and exploit a certain group of clients and thinks he owns the flag and patriotism. His decision also repels another group. He will never get our business.

Been doing it for years, what’s the big deal? At least he the only “ambulance chaser” that shows he supports the military.

Perhaps growing up in an era where being a Veteran was like wearing a scarlet "A", colors my opinion.

It might be marketing, but it's nice to go someplace at feel apreciated. The playing of the National Anthem at noon is a great idea. If anything , the prices might doom Mission.

Everyone should realize that winning unworthy victims HUGE sums of money must be covered by others. Anything given to one must be paid for by others (via increased insurance premiums.)

25 Lawyers signed the Declaration of Independence puting their lives on the line for independence. Then there was my favorite bottom feeder Abraham Lincoln.

Not much different than what Lowes does with discounts, special parking spots, etc., etc.

Yes, it's now an option. HOWEVER for those who want to call themselves lawyers in Oregon, and not take the bar exam, they must work several hundred hours in an apprenticeship instead, and be graded on their work.

After law school, candidates will spend 675 hours working under the supervision of an experienced attorney and create a portfolio of legal work that bar officials will grade as an alternative to the traditional bar exam.

Veterans are not gods. I don't revere them. I don't worship them. I don't walk up to every veteran showing off his veteran cap to thank them for their service. My uncle was a veteran and I didn't thank HIM for HIS service every time I visited him, or give him a gift every time I visited him to show him my appreciation.

I certainly am not going to do that for a bunch of people I've never met, just because they're showing off their veteran status. To me, unless you're marching in a parade or attending another official military-specific event, wearing a veteran cap is nothing more than posturing and demanding to be treated differently.

I honor honorable people. A piece of crap that shoots down the enemy in a fighter jet, is still a piece of crap. A person who gives of himself, helps others, lives a peaceful life, and contributes to society, is worthy of honor even if he never served a day in the military.

My uncle served - and he was a wonderful man. But he wasn't wonderful because he served. He was wonderful because he was wonderful.

You want to compare a central FL personal injury lawyer ....to the signers of the Declaration of Independence?!

Ahh....Mr. Newlin, we have another one on line 2!

AMBULANCE CHASERS = INCREASE INSURANCE RATES FOR ALL....

Shady roofers = increase homeowner insurance rates. And it continues....
