Here’s The One Thing That Veterans Know More Than Anyone Else

The author speaks for me and many of us. I used to never have anything Military on my truck. That was until I received my DV plates. I don't have much and none of it is gaudy or large, as I've seen on some vehicles.

No matter what uniform you wear, mission comes first.
I’ve always said I’d never be that veteran with a back car window rendered opaque with military stickers, or the one always wearing some type of military memorabilia regardless of occasion. So far, I’ve lived up to that promise to myself, though I do have the standard circular Marine emblem on my car, and have been known to wear a military t-shirt to a workout or two. (I wasn’t about to throw all those away!)

While I’m still not one of “those guys” wearing the veteran uniform with cargo pants and a moto shirt, after 18 months out of my actual uniform, I’m starting to understand why they wear it. It started after a few trips back to Jacksonville, North Carolina.
