Ya never know...

A friend of mine, Jose Munoz was our platoon leader at Fort Polk and was one of those guys that took care of his troops. I liked him a lot (he died in a car crash about 10 years ago). One day we had a full class "A" inspection and I was shocked to see all kinds of awards and decorations. he had been to Nam and just did his job every day taking care of troops.

In BDU's he didn't display a combat patch or other items that he was authorized to wear, I think he felt he should be given respect for who he was now, not then.

Ron, like you said, you never know...

I try to live by the motto that we should treat everyone we meet with respect, as you never know where thye have walked in their shoes...
