[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 537729, member: 12570"] I had a delivery going to an apt and the consignee was not home. I left a notice and the consignee called to have it held. The OMS called me and told me it was a GI who needed the pkg today as he was heading out of town that evening. I told her to have him meet me at my drop box P/U which was just down the street. He met me promptly and, after making the delivery, I shook his hand and said, "Thank you for your service." He didn't expect that so I told him that I was a vet, at which point he then thanked me. Vietnam was a different time, a war that we had no business being in, but the disrespect the returning GIs faced for their involuntary participation in a war that no one wanted to be in was most certainly not justified.
