Man Rule #1111

Gentlemen,

Wednesday is Veterans Day. This one is played straight.

A bartender's hand sets a fresh beer in front of an older man in a veteran's ball cap at a dim bar, a folded flag in a display case on the back bar.

If you know a man served, or the hat tells you, buy his next one. Tell the bartender, pay, and go back to your seat. He does not owe you a war story for it, and he does not need a speech. A nod across the bar covers it.

If he wants to talk, he will. Then you listen, and you keep your opinions about a place you have never been to yourself.

To every member who served: thank you. The first round is on the man next to you.

Who in your family served, and where? Tell us in the comments.

Stay Manly My Friends...
