I would assume it's for wounded vets only, too. Is their a sticker, tag policy?
Sign says Veterans Parking.
Wrong!
In a world in which someone is constantly telling me that I am some kind of "..ist", this really IS sexist.
Here on the left coast I'd go all wobbly at the sight of a veterans only parking space. Even if badly worded, somebody tried to say thanks.
A bunch of veterans [especially Vietnam] don't advertise; that some oaf would simply assume that a female could not merit the status is a slam on a whole lot of nurses, clerks, and tehnicians I remember coming under fire in '68 and like it or not, women are put at even greater risk in today's military.
