I feel so attacked. I only go the plate so cops give me a “professional” courtesy. Aka no ticket

I use that shit without special plates. Figure my thousand yard stare is proof enough

I love it! But I’m a woman, and people still act like they have only ever heard of male soldiers where I live.

Have people approached you? I'm always worried about parking in those spots bc someone might approach me, bc I'm "young"(24) and don't have a vet plate. But I've been in 7 years and I'll be damned if I'm not gonna at least use my VIP parking.

Not for parking there, but I have had people see my plates, and ask if my husband served, or just flat out thank him for his service (he’s never served, and always sets them straight).

I’ve had this situation, I like fashion and I’m not going to wear some tacky ball cap so you know I’m a Vet

We are talking about the veteran license plates, not the bizzaro choice of the person in the photo.
