The gentleman standing behind me in line wore a cap bearing the words, "Vietnam Veteran".
Showing respect for his military service, I suggested he take my place in line, and I would go behind him.
He eventually agreed, and we talked.
He lost his community-college student deferment in 1968, and was drafted into the Army. He served in Vietnam in 1969 and 1970.
It was an interesting and pleasant interaction, and a good way to start my day.
