Off topic. Thank you Lowe’s for honoring the 13

[DngBat7]

Today me and my wife stopped by Lowe’s. We both were pleasantly shocked. Rarely do my beliefs align with any corporate retailer these days. But, as you can see, this was very touching. Made me a little upset, because this did not need to be the case. But again, a nice tribute.

Wow

 

[PatMiles]

I am impressed.
My hat is off to your Lowes.

I’d call corporate and tell them how impressed I am with them but I fear they would make the store take it down. But may be not.

Well at least let the store manager know how you feel about it...Hats off to them.

That is rare for corporate no doubt. Lowes is to be commended for the effort to honor those 13. May they R I P.

That store would get 100% of my home improvement dollars.

Lowes and HD both are pretty "pro america" - Happy to see this.

Yea. Gotta say, if you look closer in the pic all the way in the back there is veterans only parking signs. I don’t know if that’s all Lowe’s, but mine does it.

Our Hy-Vee grocery store has Veterans and 1st responders parking spots up front.

Great gesture! Yeah my Lowe's has the Veterans Parking. I don't use it because I'm still able bodied. I had no reason to go there lately, but I shop there as a first option purely because they offer a veteran's discount. Even if I didn't use it (which has happened at the self checkout a few times) I still appreciate the gesture that the other ? ? store never offers. Having once worked there for a short time I know for a fact that they brag that the founders put huge pallets of empty boxes up on high shelves so that they could show their lenders all the inventory and sales potential to front them more money for the business. Never been a fan since.

Most of the Lowes I go to honor veterans! Parking and discounts.

We all should give thanks to a vet when given the chance and be very thankful for the sacrifices they have made and kiss the ground we walk on every day for the freedoms we have. And to resist those that would take them away from us.

Yesterday Applebee's had a table set in the center of their entrance with 13 place settings.
I think remembering is the important thing. I think seeing others remember, that takes you by surprise, shows there are folks out there in greater numbers than one may think. That Lowes is a good example that the OP showed.
The local Home Depot here (upstate NY) has spots reserved for Purple Heart recipients.
As long as the fallen are not forgotten they really are not gone. They're just waiting.
