I will say there are those vets that do not see it as we do. I had my retired Air Force hat on the other day and a lady came up and asked: "You retired Air Force?" My first thought was to deny it and just say I stole the hat, but sometimes I can be a nice guy so I just said yes m'am. I also said I served form '66 to '86, she then asked if I had been to Viet Nam. I told her no. She then said she had been an Army nurse and served two tours there. Then she turned around and walked away before I could even thank her!!!! Takes all kinds!!!!
