Please Take The Free Stuff, Veterans

For many of us, we find the task of properly honoring veterans to be insurmountable.  The sacrifice you made is more than we can ever hope to repay, so often, we do little piddling efforts to try and chip away at the task.

For civilians, that’s what Veterans’ Day allows us to do.

We know that you didn’t enlist so that someday, many years down the road, you could get 10% off of Applebee’s.  We know that your call to service was based on many factors, and in many cases, it was a higher calling to serve and protect your fellow citizens.  But…  today is a day where we, the civilians, try to make your life a little easier, and often, that comes in free stuff.  The website Portland Living On The Cheap wrote a great article on places that veterans can save a bit of money today, and we would encourage you to take advantage of that.

We know that your service was not based on future rewards.  In fact, asking you to accept generosity is yet one more thing we are asking of you today.

But we’re asking.  Take the free stuff.
