Thanks gents for chiming in.

Eddie1261....
I'm in rural Kansas so all those little perks aren't ubiquitous out here.
TBH...I haven't taken any advantage of those sorts of perks.
I'd be kind of embarrassed to tell a proprietor "I'm a veteran" to get something free.
I don't draw attention to myself or my service/experiences in this context.
But, that's just my hangup. smile
Respect to you for serving.

bobflatpicker and DannyC....
Thanks for chiming in with your thoughts.
Yep....today in Veteran's day and there's not many who choose to serve.

Have a great day everyone.
