There are a bunch of us here including the site owner's hubby so I think we're safe!
Guy stopped me the other day when after seeing my Vietnam Veteran cap and extended his hand and said thank you for your services. I said THANK YOU, I appreciate it. Then he asked: "what should we be saying or doing for you guys? I said "thank you for your service" is enough, I know of no one who expects more or wants for more. But if you really want to kick it up a notch, offer to buy him or her a cup of coffee. Chances are they will not be able to take you up on it, but offering it is the same as if you had bought it and its truly the thought that counts!
Last Veterans Day I stopped in at a Starbucks. The barista noticed my cap and said 'are you a Vietnam Veteran?' I said yes. 'Then Joe is paying for anything you want.' I ordered and as there was no one in line I asked who was Joe? He said that was not his real name, it was the name he was told to give. He told me a guy came in the store at 6 am and gave the store manager a Starbucks card and said it was to pay for anything any veteran wanted in the store till closing time today. I said anything? Yes! What if I wanted that $300 coffee maker? He said I was here and the guy said, ANYTHING, made no difference! I said if you see the guy, tell him I said thanks for the cup 'o joe, it was appreciated...
