Hi Sgt,



I thought this might interest you..



I work for Shop Rite in Ewing, NJ.. On Tuesday, Nov 10th, yes USMC birthday, I made an announcement over the PA system reminding everyone to Thank A Vet with tomorrow, Nov. 11th, being Veterans Day. On Thursday, Nov. 12th, I returned to work, to be called upstairs to Managers office.. Needless to say I received a written warning for Improper Use of PA system. The person that did the write up, used the comment, She only did it cuz he son is a F***k'n Marine..



Yes, my son is a Marine, & I am D*MN Proud of that fact. My son did 2 tours in Iraq. My husband is also a former Marine, who did his service during Desert Storm. I have a daughter in law serving with the US Navy, & a nephew serving with the US Army. Now, the store personnel announce birthdays over the PA system, which I might add does not fall under Store Business. But they do not receive warnings or write -ups of any kind. How is reminding people to Thank a service person for doing what they have no opted to do wrong?? The store has a big poster in front window stating, ""Honoring all that serve"" ! How is that honoring them when you cannot remind people for their Special day???



Thank you for letting me vent on this.. I am proud & grateful to ALL Military Service personnel active or not, THANK YOU all for your service....
