hmmm, On Thursday I was told to stop dwelling on my 12 years of military service, and to "just throw away" the bullet my body armor stopped. Also asked to not wear my Disabled Veteran's hat into the University meeting! Obviously, even close to Veteran's Day here in the USA, there are many of my countrymen who don't want to think about serving in the military. Most of them seem to be teachers of higher education, passing their lack of patriotism and service to the best and brightest of the next generations.
You know, almost every man I met in FSU countires was a veteran, (except for those under 30)...
If you are a veteran in ths USA you are being encouraged to wear your ribbons or medals on Saturday 11 November to make the public aware of the number of veterans in the population. One of my Ukrainian friends has polished off all of his Soviet medlas to wear, he says "why not, I'm a veteran, too".
