Buy a Vet a beer with that thank you.
I’ll be at the corner bar at 1230 hrs.
While I appreciate the lecture on how to thank a vet, I think that people do the best they can in a rough situatiin. Saying thank you to a veteran sometimes is just going to have to be enough, because people aren’t equipped to open that avenue of conversation...nor should they be. Professionals can say how are you doing and if they get an in depth answer they’ll know how to field that answer. The laymen on the street, if they said how are you doing and a veteran comes unhinged what the f*** are they supposed to do with that?? So I think saying thank you for your service is just fine for those of us that are not psychologists. Thank you.
I’ll be getting my yearly car wash.
“Once again this year we will be giving Free Gold Car Washes to all Veterans on Veteran’s Day on Saturday November 11th between 7 AM and 6 PM.”
I’m OK with “thank you for your service”. Given time, I’ll respond
“It was always an honor,
“Always a privilege,
“Often a pleasure,
“and Never a right.”
I’ll ask my wife
What about sailors ?
I served many moons ago, yet I always feel the need to say thank you to people that served before me. Always feel weird when people say thank you to me. Especially to Korean War Veterans. Those men, like my Dad, certainly fought the forgotten war.
The list below is very interesting and has some incredible deals for vets!
