Vet’s usually have some sort of sticker on their car with the service ... I’ve seen cars parked in vet’s slots at Home Depot that had no sticker denoting what service they were in.
Kind of an honor thing, used in areas where it would be respected.
The only stickers on my truck are a NOTW [Not of This World], Gadsden flag and RaceFace [mountain bike equipment company]. My priorities are on display...
I consider it a priviledge to have served.
I don’t go around looking for any special treatment nor do I openly advertise my prior service unless it comes up in polite conversation.
And just in case you’re checking my home page and wondering...
I consider FReepers to be polite company. ;^)

I’m a disabled Nam Vet, and I have nothing on my car...
Says you.
I went 45 years before I got a veterans plate, just to piss off liberals that still hate the VN war. I never brought attention in any way to my service before that.
In Washington we can only have one veteran plate. If you have 2-3 vehicles then too bad you only get one plate. If you are disabled you have to choose between the disabled plate and a veteran plate. You can have a veteran plate and a handicapped placard you hang from the rear view mirror though.
I did 4 years in the Corps and there are no stickers of any kind on my vehicles.
I disagree. I've been out of service for 25 years. Never had a sticker on my car denoting branch of service.
Not really.
My uncle, husband and FIL are all retired military. No stickers. There are about 15 other vets in my extended family. I think maybe one has a sticker and that is because he still works at Wright-Patterson.
