Why don't veterans like being thanked for their service?
I've often wondered, why do some veterans seem hesitant or even uncomfortable when thanked for their service? Is it because they feel their actions were just part of their duty, or do they worry that the gratitude is misplaced or insufficient? Perhaps it's a sense of humility, or maybe it's because they've seen the true horrors of war and feel that any thanks is overshadowed by the loss and sacrifice they've witnessed. Could it also be that they struggle with the idea of being heroes, when they know that there are so many others who didn't come home? What are your thoughts on this topic?
Can honorably discharged veterans wear their uniforms?
Could you please clarify for me the regulations surrounding the wearing of military uniforms by honorably discharged veterans? I understand that there are certain circumstances and events where it may be appropriate, but I'm unsure of the specific rules and guidelines. Could you elaborate on the protocols that must be followed in order to respectfully wear a military uniform after service?
Can all veterans use the commissary now?
I understand that the commissary has been expanded to include more veterans, but I have a question. Is it now possible for all veterans, regardless of their specific service or discharge status, to use the commissary? Or are there still certain restrictions or qualifications that must be met in order to access these benefits? I'm interested in knowing the full scope of eligibility for the commissary, and how it may have changed in recent years.
