Happens every once in a while. It sure warms this old man's heart!! I live in a retired military dense city with generations of veterans so we do get quite a bit of respect. I'm glad the young lad took the initiative. I think there are many that do respect but just don't know how to show it.

Love it! Us 1%ers deserve at least respect from the other 99%. Thanks for your service and may God heal you!

Do it all the time. A cheap thanks for what you all do. Besides, I get a kick out going it.

See, there are a few good people out there!

Never had it happen yet but I don't display the fact I was once there either.

Every year, the company I fought with in Viet Nam has a reunion. Last year it was in upstate NY, and tradition has it that Saturday is the "reunion" and Friday night everyone gets together at a local restaurant chosen by the host. There is usually 20-25 guys plus spouses. Between the veteran hats and T shirts, it is no secret who we are. When last years bill was requested, we where advised it was paid for, anonymously. It could not have been a cheap bill.

Great news

I try to do the military treat when I see someone in uniform

usually don't try to be obvious try to stay anonymous
keep them guessing

I hope you heel well, have a full speedy recovery

thanks for your service to our great military & great nation

I enjoy buying lunch for military or police. Can not afford to do it every time but it is a small thank you for their huge service!
