Regardless of the rank they held while they served, pay the highest amount of respect to all veterans. If you see someone doing otherwise quietly pull them aside and explain how Veterans have fought for the very freedom they bask in every second. Enlighten them of the many sacrifices these veterans made to make this Nation great. Then hold them down while a Disabled Veteran kicks their ass! If you witness someone calling and enlisted Marine “Sir“, stand back; a Marine will kick their ass. Next time you come across an Air Force member, do not ask them “Do you fly a jet”. Not everyone in the Air Force is a pilot. Such ignorance deserves an ass kicking. (Children are exempt) Thank God for our military and the sacrifices they make everyday. Without them our country would get its ass kicked. Dave Poage
