There are two types of veterans I see. the modest ones and the ones that want all the freebies that come with it. Was at a football game and they asked all the vets to stand up for appreciation. The attention whores are on their feet before the announcer finishes his sentence but then there's guys still sitting and you see their friends pulling them up forcing them to acknowledge it but they are just content to stay seated and don't want the extra attention. Those are the guys I respect. They fought for their country, not for the freebies and celebrity but just out of loyalty to their country.
