Veterans Discount

[czuch]

Take the discounts.
When asked if I qualify for senior or Veteran discounts, which I do, I say,
 "I'll take the Veteran's. That's something I did, the other one I just lived long enough".
All the good natured ribbing is, A) Pride in branch. B) Required.

I used to think like you that I didn't do anything to deserve it, but when I started to think about it, I signed a blank check payable to Uncle Sam that was payable up to and including my life just like everyone else did, I changed my mind. 

I pushed paperwork for the first two years and then carried a weapon the next two...so I figure I'm good to go.
