Is the, "Thank you for your service!" a recent thing (a few years perhaps) or has it been like that for a long time? So we are at a health fair today and many of the vendors had veteran perks. My wife would state my husband is! I realize in that environment they are probably programed to say that but it happens all the time. What really made think about it, I go into a Sheetz for coffee Monday and this couple is leaning against their car next to my truck. They had scowls on their faces and I'm thinking, "Now what did I do?" They knew I was a vet because I have a PA purple heart vanity plate. I digress! I broadcast it merely for mercy since I occasionally exhibit a lead foot. Does it work? I'll take the 5th! Anyway, they were waiting to thank me! I just don't remember the frequency of it now days! Relative to the 5th, I'll give you an example anyway. I'm heading south from the Buffalo airport recently. Dusk is closing. Leading into the I-90 tollbooth is this long sweeping curve. I floor it to get ahead of two semis, knowing they all use eazypass lanes as I do. There in the medium is a statey. I didn't really want to hit 88 but I actually noticed it. He followed me thru the tollbooth to a big pull off. Asks "Do I know?" I answer yes sir I was speeding. Comes back with my owners and license and asks if I am the one that was in the CAV and when? I answered and he handed them back saying, "Drive safely!"
