Replying to Avatar Bourbonic Plague

I know a lot of younger guys in the military don’t like being thanked for their service and I get that.

But if you see a Vietnam vet wearing a hat or shirt or anything else that brings attention to his service, he wants to be thanked. They were treated like shit when they got back and that is still an open wound for many of them.

This is a great piece of advice. Bourbon, did you serve?

No, my dad was in Vietnam and I’ve been with him when people stopped him and thanked him and I know how much it means to him.

That's cool to hear. I like this kind of post b/c a lot of us that didn't serve (or didn't have anyone close that served) don't know how to handle this without awkwardness.
