Why is it that Veterens and Military people have the need to separate them selves into groups away from those that have no military service?
Your comment puzzles me. :h
As a group I don't see veterans separating themselves from those who did not serve. Most veterans I have known don't advertise their service, quite the opposite. This thread asked that we document our service, which was a privilege and no small measure of sacrifice, that most of us are justifiably proud of.
One of the best definitions of a veterans is...
"A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life wrote a blank check made payable to The United States of America for an amount of up to and including my life."
You're welcome. :C

To jdog I say; We don't separate ourselves, however sometimes others separate us......I suggest that you take Jack Nicholson's advice .....and just say thank you.
To all those who dared to serve, draftee or volunteer - THANK YOU!
