I'm a Navy Vietnam Veteran, but have come to realize that not everyone supports the military and/or even knows someone in. Like it not, they don't acknowledge Veterans Day or Memorial Day.
My wife had a supervisor that spent some time in the Navy and she didn't want to talk about that time of her life at all. I met her. There was also a lady, where we use to live, that had been in the Navy and, as she told us "I just want to forget that time of my life".
