[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2335661, member: 63925"] Thank them in person, much better feeling for them to realize they were and are still appreciated. When I traveled a lot in business I always tried to pick up a check of a serviceman or woman in the airport without them knowing who. Its easy and sends a powerful message. So my wife and I ate out this morning and 2 old geezers with veteran hats sat near us. We stopped them when going by our table and asked for their checks. They were Viet Nam veterans, my age (old geezers huh?) and we thanked them after brief talk. I was rejected in physical for Nam due to some health concerns and have special place for Nam vets. So we walked up to register to pay their checks, the restaurant was doing free breakfasts for vets unannounced nor posted anywhere so we looked like complete idiots for not knowing that. Not posted anywhere but the owner thanked us for trying. The restaurant does have their outside sign announcing free chicken dinners to all vets today. Which is why we go there, they get it! [/QUOTE]
