Especially their medical care,” said Beverly McIntosh, who served from 1972 until 1997, working IT her whole life. Beverly’s husband says while it’s nice to be appreciated, most veterans feel humble when thanked for their service.“We enlisted to do what we were asked to do and that’s it,” he said. “We don’t need any recognition; if you want to recognize and say thank you, that’s fine. But a veteran isn’t going to walk up and say ‘Hey – I served, what do you think of that?’”Staff members at Texas Roadhouse acknowledged that it would likely be busy all day, but they say they’re happy to work the extra hours on the special holiday.
