Got my great grandfather's footlocker from WW2. My dad and I went through it found his swagger stick. Plus found a grenade with a circle welded to the bottom to make it sort of like a desk ornament. But the thing about the grenade us that it still has the pin and everything in it. Would it be a test or dummy grenade?

[@SvenStadt]

Should be called 'stolen dignity,' not 'stolen valor.' Valor is something that can't be taken away. But these young punks sure can make your life miserable having to explain yourself constantly back in the world!!

[@MisterNi]

I think it's the pridefulness that kind of sets some people off and want to mess with Veterans. If you want to talk about your service, it's best to make it a story and give some sort of moral or example of what to or what not to do at the end of the story.

I had an uncle that was absolutely 100% USMC and deployed to Vietnam. He was forever an alcoholic and suffered from mental illness/PTSD. 100% of the time I saw him he was wearing a white t shirt with his cigarettes rolled into the sleeves and wearing his dog tags. He was at a bar one time talking sit about his time in Vietnam and some guys called him out as a non GI stolen valor. They end up beating him a bit, dragging him out, taking his tags. Screaming stolen valor at him. He tells that story so broken hearted. The one brotherhood he still believed in, betrayed him, in the name of some stolen valor macho bullsit. People need to be careful with this stolen valor trend. Sure, there's a lot of bad actors out there. But there's a lot of mental illness, addiction, etc. Even if they never were military, their mental illness is often their reality. Count yourself lucky not to suffer from mental illness.

I did close to 12 years in the ARMY during the last decade of the cold war. A week after my ETS I was detained by the local police and got arrested for walking while intoxicated.I had only taken two beers. They pushed me around quite often and even invited me to fight under a bridge while they where taking me arrested to the police station. I was released the next morning, under time served in jail. After that experience I never carried anything in my wallet that could identify me as a veteran...

Quick tip: Veterans don’t brag about their service. My great grandfather fought in the battle of the bulge and his position got hit by a german rail gun. Never talked about it.

I would be doing a disservice by serving when I know I am not physically up to the job, that would endanger myself and others. So I support from the sidelines while those who are able go in my stead.

Mortar shell exploded near him and he had embedded shrapnel in the neck area that could not be removed because it was near the spine. I navigated the va gauntlet for him. It took two years but va back dated the disability compensation ($4500/mo) from the time of the initial request for benefits. He qualified and received a transport van ($42k) and a state of the art wheelchair ($22k), and he got the best healtcare that I have ever seen!

I'm an Air Force veteran, I was a flyer and the stuff on his left arm is from a flight suit. Why he has Air Force tapes on an Army uniform is beyond me, but the 2 small patches on the left shoulder are what we call "pen tab patches" on the old flight suits, which I think have all been phased out to the new 2 piece ones, but the Top Gun style zipper suits, there is a pen pocket on the left sleeve with a little flap that velcros down. Most guy would take a knife and cut that flap off because it looked shitty and bunched up. Most units let you were a personalized patch on the velcro where that patch would rest, so they were small rectangular patches. Common things were sports teams, schools, states, etc. things like that. The other patch on his left shoulder goes on the front of the flight suit opposite the name tape. That is the command patch. So you'd have unit on one shoulder, command patch on the front, name tape on the front, and then American flag on the other shoulder (although the flag went in and out of style while I was in).

Army Rangers are “advanced” infantry units. They hold special qualifications, and wear the ranger tab. The Ranger regiment (75th rangers) are considered SF and are classified under JSOC.

I can’t remember exactly all that daddy told me, but I do remember him saying that Uncle Jess was a medic who had fought in a war. While trying to help the wounded, he was shot in the leg. That night he and other soldiers had taken refuge under a bridge where Uncle Jess still tried to help his wounded companions. As they waited for daylight, the blood of soldiers, dead and dying on top of the bridge ran down upon them. Daddy said that Uncle Jess never got over that time.

I worked for a crusty old bastard for years. He was really rude and abusive, and often told stories about how he had signed up to go to Vietnam in ‘66 (I think. Maybe ‘65). He talked about how he had been a gunner in a helicopter, and that they’d fly over guys on the ground running, firing at them. Flushing them out of copses of trees, aiming at their heels trying to get them to flip over. I didn’t put a huge amount of thought into it, but I did figure it excused some of his prickly personality. Years down the line, as his health began failing and I was the last person staying by his side, helping him run the small business, I also helped him with his personal paperwork and medical info. While I was on the phone, speaking for him and filling out paperwork, I had to ask him if he were a veteran. I almost didn’t bother asking. It seemed ridiculous. But I asked. Sure enough. That old creep had been lying to us all for years. I kind of paused and side-eyed him. Was at a loss for words. He mistreated me for years. He was incredibly rude, often racist, just something like 70% of the time a complete bastard. I ended up not saying anything. He was on his way out. But I was pissed. And not just about how he’d treated everyone for all those years, but because my own father HAD actually been to Vietnam. Honestly, I kinda wanted to slug him. Edit: I didn’t get to know my father until I was in my late 20’s. He’d spent decades wrapped up in alcohol and drugs. He’s doing great now, thank goodness. I had never heard him talk at all about being in the military, and really still don’t know details. He was in the hospital a few years ago, and caught MERS (dunno if that abbreviation is correct. Maybe MRSA? I dunno. The common infection you can get in the hospital. Very dangerous). He began hallucinating something fierce, thinking there were snakes and bugs on the ceiling, and was having flashbacks to his time in Vietnam. That’s when I asked his wife about it. He’d never even told me, himself.
