I was traveling across the U.S. Delta bumped me up to First Class. While I was waiting to board, a young mother told me her two children wanted to get a photo with me.
I believe the treatment was due to my appearance. I was returning home from a deployment and wearing desert BDUs.

I've bought a meal for people in uniform several times while waiting in an airport. I just ask the server to add their bill to mine.

That is great. It is good to see our Military treated with respect.
