I go out of my way to extend them a hand and thank them for their service.

If I can pick up their tab I will gladly do it.

I disagree with why they are there but I appreciate what they do and the personal/financial sacrifices that they make on my behalf.

I come from a military family and was raised in the service.

Went to sign up and it was my father, the 20 year career guy and vet of Korea and Vietnam that talked me out of it.
