What a beautiful change. My husband went to the US Naval Academy during the Viet Nam war. When his school would play football at a civilian school the students weren't real nice. Suffice to say he had to change his uniform periodically. He spent 20 years in the Navy. Back then while On vacation he was asked why are you not working, our tax dollars are paying your salary. He finally retired and we moved to New Hampshire. We have veterans license plates. When we step out of the car someone always comes up and says thank you. He even rear ended a truck one day recently and the man got out of his truck looked at the damage then saw the license plate. As they were exchanging info he said, Thank you for your service." Wow what a change!
