What marten done to a veteran

I agree with what he said. But I must mention that Waffle House gave me free coffee and something like a 20 percent discount on my meal for veterans day a couple years ago. And I don't think anybody owes me for serving in the army and civilians don't care about it. I didn't serve in a war zone ( got rearended by another truck during a training exercise).If someone served in a war zone, they have my respect. But I never got shot at. So why should I expect anything. I carry 2 atm cards and a credit card. I suggest others do the same. Don't be dependent on the goodwill of others. My dad served on cargo ships in the Merchant Marines from 1941-1945 . Many of those ships got sunk . And many of those died. I have never heard my dad say he thinks anybody owes him. Anyway. If you served in a war zone, I salute you.

 

That was the INDY 500 not the DAYTONA 500 ( runs in Feb , Daytona Florida )

 

Well gee um it was YOU !

"THIS WAS FRIDAY EVENING WITH THE DAYTONA 500 IN TOWN. MY WIFE AND I SLEEPED ON THE STREETS FOR TWO DAYS WAITING FOR THE BUS RIDE HOME. EVETHING WAS BOOKED SOLID FOR THE RACE ON SUNDAY."

 

we should have re-enlisted.

could you have taken the bus to Desoto yard to get your pickup?

 

TReeves you might be surprised at how many drivers are Veterans here and know what you are going through.

 

I am a veteran. Just never noticed anybody gave a #&$@. In trucking, you are a truck driver and will be treated like one. I remember my first sergeant saying he didn't like civilians. I thought he was.joking. After trucking 20 , I think I might I agree with him to a certain extent.
