WHY are you hanging Desert Storm shirts?
Not knocking you, or veterans as a whole, just saying I never got it. Lots of vets... until the day they die... identify themselves as a vet. Wear the hats, get the license plate, attend various gatherings and clubs... my Dad included... goes around wearing a Korea hat, with people doing the whole "thank you for your service" thing all day... even though he never saw any combat... was just in the Navy at the time. (Actually, that irks me... I think he's basking in the glory paid for by the blood of others, not his, but that's another story and I never say anything to my Dad about my disapproval of his affiliating himself with actual combat veterans, but I digress).
If it was a smashing good time like Woodstock I can see doing that... "I was there, man... "
I can't say it was a smashing good time. I hardly care to see reminders decorating my house. Jes saying'. It's just my choice is all.
