Thanks Bill. I do the same thing in airports. I loaned my cell phone to a soldier who was struggling with a pay phone in the Dallas airport, one of two transfer points for the military coming back from overseas. I am very happy it is like it is now than when I was serving in the 70-80′s. Back then we were instructed not to wear our uniforms off base and especially in airports to prevent negative encounters. While I was never spit on while serving (good thing for me and them), it wasn’t that uncommon for vets returning from a different overseas war. Times have changed, unlike then I believe for the most part the American people separate the soldiers from their beliefs.

Well said, Bill, and always relevant! I volunteer with the local chapter of Honor Flight, the group that flies WWII vets to Washington DC to see their memorial — free of charge. Our members continue to encounter vets whose service and sacrifice were never previously recognized.
