Veteran made a star

A big thank you to Applebees restaurant and Whitewater Car Wash for treating veterans so special on Veterans Day.

Being a Vietnam veteran, I have seldom even spoken about being in the military except to close friends. For me, it felt really nice to be a star for one day after all of these years. Thank you again.
