I met a vet on the plane today. He was sitting across the aisle from me wearing VFW hat and jacket. I asked him when he served, when he said '66-'68, I shook his hand and said welcome home and thank you. We spent the hour and a half chatting, a truly rewarding experience. He was heading to a week long training to learn how to help fellow veterans sign up for VA benefits.
He had a remarkable knowledge of military history from WWI to the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. By far the best flight I've had in a long time.
Deal with it.

I am blessed to have a couple of jungle war veterans as close freinds. One only recently told me the story of what happened to him to get his 100% disability on PTSD. And we have been the closest of freinds for 30 years. They were not and are not treated right, in my opinion. I am a fiscal conservative EXCEPT when it comes to disabled veterans benefits.
