A vets rant.

Sorry everyone just wanted to blow off a little steam.
If you have never been awarded a Purple Heart, DO NOT PARK in the space or spaces marked as such! I do have a Purple Heart, but choose not to park in said place, because I feel they are for those that are disabled that have earned it.

 

one earns a Purple Heart (imo), not sure anyone ever earns a handicap. Regardless, I salute both your service and your compassion for the handicapped.

 

I've never heard of this so I googled it. For those who don't know I guess the spots look like this (or something similar):

 

Yes!

 

I've never heard of that either.. Learn something new everyday

 

I meant those who were wounded causing loss of limb or limbs

 

Amen.

However, I have read some things online where guys who are entitled to park in PH or vet parking spots do it, but don’t have a license plate or anything on their vehicle indicting it. Then in their posts, they’re daring someone to come question them, hoping for that confrontation. That’s dumb as hell, but I guess it can happen.

Edit: Just saying, I won’t be confronting anyone because you never know..

 

From one Veteran to another ....

Thank you For your Service !!

I'm a 80% disabled Service connected Veteran .Even though I've got a Handi cap Placard I'm the same way at the VA .Ill let a more deserving Vet take that space , I can indure same pain and think of it as PT

 

saw a fatty kind of a woman once park in a handicap spot. she may have been handicapped but she had nothing on her plates or her mirror. She cme out of the store and her car wouldn't start. Poestic justice. Another thing that bothers me is these big obesese people driving/squating those scooters around walmart and then standing up to reach the brand of cookies they want on the top shelf with no trouble at all.

 

Happy B-day

 

Se per Fi ! And thank you too!

 

Semper Fi

 

Semper Fi !!

 

I guess really what got me were that they were teenagers

 

I have been skeptical a few times about the issuance and usage of handicapped spots by SOME people but don't really let it bother me but a throat punch is in order to anyone parking in a Purple heart recipient spot if they haven't received one. That will be all....

 

Anyone getting some free food Saturday? I never did that until about 2 years ago (been out 10 years now), but it’s pretty awesome to fatten up all day for free

 

I know it’s easy to assume but don’t


My girlfriend has invisible disability and looks perfect fine, but she has a handicap plaque and often times needs to park in a handicap space.

 

Shit I already got my free chipotle borreto this week and Texas road house is offering free lunch.

Back to the main rant how do you know this person doesn’t have a Purple Heart? Totally agree though I hate knowing people wrongfully take those spots and the gold star parking as well. My commander flips shit on people parking there and when dudes park in expecting mother spots.

 

Same with my aunt..
She has muscular dystrophy, she can walk okay, but she gets really bad Back and Leg pain sometimes..
she often gets the stink eye for parking in a handicap spot
