How To Approach a Veteran

[cutiger83]

 

I appreciate the belated gratitude. But some of us are still carrying some baggage. So if you have the chance to thank a vet, please do so. But I suggest you not try to engage right then. Ask if maybe we can have a cup of coffee sometime. I would enjoy talking to you. And let the vet decide.

 

This would give him or her the option and time to prepare.

 

Just a suggestion.

 

Thank you very much for your point of view. There are definitely some vets who have a hard time talking. Your suggestion to buy a cup of coffee is an excellent point.

I wrote this in August 2015 just after returning from a trip to Arizona..Many times we don't speak to those folks sitting next to us on long flights, sometimes hoping they won't talk. I'm glad I had a chance to meet Joe and tell his tale.
